This study shows that bacterial membrane vesicles from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus enhance inflammation in Leishmania amazonensis-infected macrophages.

This study investigates the interaction between Leishmania amazonensis and Acanthamoeba castellanii, showing that the parasite survives inside the amoeba and can be cleared over time, suggesting a potential model for studying leishmanicidal mechanisms.

This study investigates the role of Leishmania major telomerase RNA (LeishTER) by generating knockout parasites, showing reduced proliferation, telomere shortening, and decreased infectivity.
