Experimental induction of paromomycin resistance in antimony-resistant strains of L. donovani : outcome dependent on in vitro selection protocol [PDF]
Paromomycin (PMM) has recently been introduced for treatment of visceral leishmaniasis in India. Although no clinical resistance has yet been reported, proactive vigilance should be warranted. The present in vitro study compared the outcome and stability

Probing 5-Nitroimidazole-Triazole Hybrids as Potential Anti-Kinetoplastid Agents: Synthesis and In Vitro Efficacy. [PDF]
A series of 5‐nitroimidazole‐1,2,3‐triazole hybrids was synthesised and evaluated for antitrypanosomatid activity to assess their potential as treatments against leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis. No notable in vitro activity against Leishmania was detected.

Comparative study of the ability of Leishmania mexicana promastigotes and amastigotes to alter macrophage signalling and functions [PDF]
Leishmania alternates between two morphologically different stages: promastigotes and amastigotes. While the majority of reports focused on how the promastigote form can alter macrophage signalling and function, fewer reports investigated signalling ...

The role of promastigote secretory gel in the origin and transmission of the infective stage of Leishmania mexicana by the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis [PDF]
Transmission of leishmaniasis is effected by a specific developmental stage, the metacyclic promastigote. The precursors of metacyclic promastigotes were a distinct subpopulation of parasites, identified for the first time as a new stage in the life ...
