Insect trypanosomatids: the need to know more [PDF]

, 2000
Of ten recognized trypanosomatid genera, only two -- pathogenic Trypanosoma and Leishmania -- have been actively investigated for any length of time while the plant flagellates -- Phytomonas -- have recently begun to attract attention due to their role ...

Mechanisms of growth inhibition of Phytomonas serpens by the alkaloids tomatine and tomatidine

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2015
Phytomonas serpens are flagellates in the family Trypanosomatidae that parasitise the tomato plant (Solanum lycopersicum L.), which results in fruits with low commercial value.

Antileishmanial Activity of 4,8-Dimethoxynaphthalenyl Chalcones on Leishmania amazonensis

Antibiotics, 2022
Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by Leishmania species. Available therapeutic options have several limitations. The drive to develop new, more potent, and selective antileishmanial agents is thus a major goal.

The role of l-serine and l-threonine in the energy metabolism and nutritional stress response of Trypanosoma cruzi

mSphere
l-Serine and l-threonine have versatile roles in metabolism. In addition to their use in protein synthesis, these amino acids participate in the biosynthesis pathways of other amino acids and even phospholipids.
