J Inorg Biochem . 2022 Oct; 237:112016. PMID: 36244312
Human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) and leishmaniasis are prevalent zoonotic diseases caused by genomically related trypanosomatid protozoan parasites (Trypanosoma brucei and Leishmania spp). Additionally, both are co-endemic in certain regions...

Barreiro-Costa O, Quiroga Lozano C, Munoz E, Rojas-Silva P, Medeiros A, Comini M, et al.
Biomedicines . 2022 Aug; 10(8). PMID: 36009460
Trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis are neglected infections caused by trypanosomatid parasites. The first-line treatments have many adverse effects, high costs, and are prone to resistance development, hence the necessity for new...
