Identification of transporters essential for survival of Leishmania promastigotes in the digestive tract of sand flies
Leishmania amastigotes ingested by female phlebotomine sand flies are exposed to a harsh and dynamic environment, markedly different from that of their mammalian host. Within the sand fly s alimentary...

Ever wonder how Leishmania survives in a sand fly’s gut?
We just dropped a preprint where we CRISPR’d our way through the parasite’s transporter genes—and found the VIPs that keep it alive in its insect host. 🧬🦟

Wondering about the role of the Leishmania promastigote flagellum at the initiation of infection? It is essential but not via its motile function! Great work by Tom Beneke, Eva Gluenz @albuquerqueafrr.bsky.social and colleagues 👍

Scary to see your family and friends freaking out because there are no conclusive explanations from trust worthy sources on what the cause of this is. Crossing fingers for this to be just a scary few hours and for everything to go back to normal soon 🙏🏼

I don't know if you had a chance of participating on a DEI session before, but today I participated on my first.
To be frank, at first, I thought, why am I being put forward to be part of a panel for diversity, equity and inclusion?
Am I supposed to be representing diversity?

Inspired by the upcoming diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI) session @ the Joint Parasitology Meeting in Würzburg, I did a bit of unconscious bias selfcheck & reading.
