Arginase activity in pathogenic and non-pathogenic species of Leishmania parasites.

Arginase activity in pathogenic and non-pathogenic species of Leishmania parasites.

Proliferation of Leishmania (L.) parasites depends on polyamine availability, which can be generated by the L-arginine catabolism and the enzymatic activity of arginase (ARG) of the parasites and of the mammalian hosts.
