Oxidant-mediated damage of Leishmania donovani promastigotes [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1982 Dissemination of Leishmania within the host is related to parasites undergoing unchecked proliferation. We therefore studied the effects of oxidant generating systems on promastigote multiplication by (i) direct determinations of organism proliferation and (ii) the incorporation of [3H]uracil into promastigote nucleoprotein.

Isolation of Leishmania Promastigote Flagella [PDF]
, 2020 Eukaryotic flagella are conserved multifunctional organelles with roles in motility, intercellular interactions, and signal transduction. Leishmania possess a single flagellum at all stages of their life cycle. Flagella of promastigote forms in the fly are long and motile, with a canonical 9 + 2 microtubule axoneme and an extra-axonemal paraflagellar ...
