In Silico Prediction and Validation of LmGt Inhibitors Using QSAR and Molecular Docking Approaches [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2025 IEEE International Conference on
Innovation in Computing and Engineering (ICE), Greater Noida, India, pp. 1 to
5, 2025Leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania mexicana relies on Leishmania mexicana gluscose transporter (LmGT) receptors, which play an important role in glucose and ribose uptake at different stages of parasite's life cycle. Previous efforts to identify LmGT inhibitors have been primarily based on in vitro screening.

Infectiousness in a Cohort of Brazilian Dogs: Why Culling Fails to Control Visceral Leishmaniasis in Areas of High Transmission [PDF]
, 2002 The elimination of seropositive dogs in Brazil has been used to control zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis but with little success. To elucidate the reasons for this, the infectiousness of 50 sentinel dogs exposed to natural Leishmania chagasi infection was

Domestic dog ownership in Iran is a risk factor for human infection with Leishmania infantum. [PDF]
, 2002 One explanation proposed for the widespread failure to control zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis by culling infected domestic dogs is that wild canids or humans play significant roles in transmission.
