Moroccan strains of Leishmania major and Leishmania tropica differentially impact on nitric oxide production by macrophages

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a vector-borne parasitic disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania. In Morocco, CL is a public health problem mainly caused by Leishmania major and Leishmania tropica, which are responsible for zoonotic

Boundary behaviours of Leishmania mexicana: a hydrodynamic simulation study [PDF]

, 2018
It is well established that the parasites of the genus Leishmania exhibit complex surface interactions with the sandfly vector midgut epithelium, but no prior study has considered the details of their hydrodynamics. Here, the boundary behaviours of motile Leishmania mexicana promastigotes are explored in a computational study using the boundary element

Compressed AFM-IR hyperspectral nanoimaging of single Leishmania parasites [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Infrared hyperspectral imaging is a powerful approach in the field of materials and life sciences. However, the extension to modern sub-diffraction nanoimaging still remains a highly inefficient technique, as it acquires data via inherent sequential schemes.

Characterization of Allobodo yubaba sp. nov. and Novijibodo darinka gen. et sp. nov., cultivable free‐living species of the phylogenetically enigmatic kinetoplastid taxon Allobodonidae

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Kinetoplastids are a large and diverse protist group, spanning ecologically important free‐living forms to medically important parasites. The taxon Allobodonidae holds an unresolved position within kinetoplastids, and the sole described species, Allobodo chlorophagus, is uncultivated, being a necrotroph/parasite of macroalgae. Here we describe

Unveiling the Interplay Between Dendritic Cells and Natural Killer Cells as Key Players in Leishmania Infection

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Leishmaniasis is a group of parasitic diseases whose etiological agent is the protozoa Leishmania. These diseases afflict impoverished populations in tropical and subtropical regions and affect wild and domestic animals. Canine leishmaniasis is a global disease mostly caused by L. infantum.

Plant‐Based Biosynthesis of Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: An Update on Antimicrobial and Anticancer Activity

ChemBioEng Reviews, Volume 11, Issue 6, December 2024.
When it comes to finding novel ways to battle newly developing pathogenic strains and illnesses, nanoparticles are the first line of defense. Plant‐based nanoparticles are showing more significance over chemically or physically synthesized nanoparticles. Several plant species and their constituent parts have found several applications in medicine. They
