Leishmania allelic selection during experimental sand fly infection correlates with mutational signatures of oxidative DNA damage

G. Bussotti, B. Li, P. Pescher, B. Vojtkova, I. Louradour, K. Pruzinova, J. Sadlova, P. Volf, G. F. Spaeth

This study identifies oxidative DNA damage signatures in Leishmania donovani during sand fly infection, linking them to allelic and haplotype selection through genomic analysis.

Role for the flagellum attachment zone in the resolution of cell membrane morphogenesis during Leishmania cell division

J. Sunter, C. Halliday, R. Yanase, C. M. C. Catta-Preta, F. Moreira-Leite, J. Myskova, K. Pruzinova, P. Volf, J. C. Mottram

This study investigates the role of FAZ2 in Leishmania cell division, showing that its loss disrupts membrane organization and reduces parasite viability in sand flies and mice.
