Genetic dissection of a Leishmania flagellar proteome demonstrates requirement for directional motility in sand fly infections.

Genetic dissection of a Leishmania flagellar proteome demonstrates requirement for directional motility in sand fly infections.

The protozoan parasite Leishmania possesses a single flagellum, which is remodelled during the parasite's life cycle from a long motile flagellum in promastigote forms in the sand fly to a short immotile flagellum in amastigotes residing in mammalian phagocytes. This study examined the protein...
