Leishmania infantum propagated in IDE8 tick cell line in vitro. L. infantum reduces tick cell viability and induces reactive oxygen species production. Lipidic profile of IDE8 tick cell line is altered during Leishmania infection. Abstract Leishmaniasis comprises a group of vector‐borne neglected tropical diseases caused by species of the obligatory ...

Nuclear and Kinetoplast DNA Replication in Trypanosomatids
Trypanosomatids are among the most primitive eukaryotes and therefore exhibit both conserved and unique non-conserved features in the DNA replication machinery.

Secretory organelles of pathogenic protozoa
Secretory processes play an important role on the biology and life cycles of parasitic protozoa. This review focus on basic aspects, from a cell biology perspective, of the secretion of (a) micronemes, rhoptries and dense granules in members of the ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Canine Leishmaniasis is a vector‐borne zoonotic disease caused by several species of protozoa of the genus Leishmania. In the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Leishmania braziliensis is the most prevalent species causing tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) and Leishmania infantum is the main causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL).

Pre-mRNA trans-splicing: from kinetoplastids to mammals, an easy language for life diversity
Since the discovery that genes are split into intron and exons, the studies of the mechanisms involved in splicing pointed to presence of consensus signals in an attempt to generalize the process for all living cells. However, as discussed in the present

Sand flies as hosts of monoxenous and dixenous trypanosomatids [PDF]
Sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) are blood-sucking diptera and important vectors of various pathogens including protozoas from the order Kinetoplastida.

Sera of Chagasic patients react with antigens from the tomato parasite Phytomonas serpens
The genus Phytomonas comprises trypanosomatids that can parasitize a broad range of plant species. These fagellates can cause diseases in some plant families with a wide geographic distribution, which can result in great economic losses.

Mononuclear phagocytes (monocytes, dendritic cells, and macrophages) are among the first host cells to face intra- and extracellular protozoan parasites such as trypanosomatids, and significant expansion of macrophages has been observed in infected hosts.
