Leishmaniases are vector-borne parasitic diseases with 0.9–1.4 million new human cases
each year worldwide. In the vectorial part of the life-cycle, Leishmania development is …

A thorough understanding of the transmission mechanism of any infectious agent is crucial
to implementing an effective intervention strategy. Here, our current understanding of the …

Employing the clear, student-friendly style that made previous editions so popular, Insect
Physiology and Biochemistry, Fourth Edition presents an engaging and authoritative guide …

Experimental infection with the intracellular protozoan Leishmania major constitutes a
particularly versatile model for assessing the role of CD4+ subset development in the host …

STRUCTURE OF PROTEIN GPI ANCHORS Although some of the plasma membrane
proteins of the parasitic protozoa use transmembrane polypeptide anchors, most of the …

Leishmaniases remain a major public health problem today despite the vast amount of

▪ Abstract Leishmania-sand fly interactions are reviewed in the context of the potential
barriers to the complete development of the parasite that exist within the midgut environment …

The discovery of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) membrane anchors has had a significant
impact on several areas of eukaryote cell biology. Studies of the African trypanosome, which …

The life cycle of Leishmania parasites involve stages between the midgut of sandflies and
the phagolysosomes of mammalian macrophages. These extreme environmental changes …

Whereas amastigotes of the protozoan parasite Leishmania proliferate inside acidic
phagolysosomal vacuoles of the macrophage, vacuoles induced by Leishmania donovani …
