Structural insights into leishmanolysins encoded on chromosome 10 of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis. [PDF]
Leishmanolysins have been described as important parasite virulence factors because of their roles in the infection of promastigotes and resistance to host's defenses. Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis contains several leishmanolysin genes in its genome, especially in chromosome 10.

ABSTRACT American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL) affects the skin and mucous membranes, with a spectrum shaped by Th1/Th2 responses. This study investigated inflammasome activation in correlation with macrophage subpopulations, tissue parasitism, and histological changes in cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis. We assessed inflammasome activation,

Putative markers of infective life stages in Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis
SUMMARYGene expression is known to vary significantly during the Leishmania life-cycle. Its monitoring might allow identification of molecular changes associated with the infective stages (metacyclics and amastigotes) and contribute to the understanding of the complex host-parasite relationships.
