Discovery of a novel flagellar filament system underpinning Leishmania adhesion to surfaces

Barrack O. Owino, Ryuji Yanase, Alan O. Marron…·Jack Daniel Sunter

The paper investigates the role of FAZ proteins in Leishmania adhesion, showing their deletion impairs adhesion and identifies KIAP2 as a key component of novel flagellar filaments.

Molecular detection of Leishmania donovani, Leishmania major, and Trypanosoma spp. in Sergentomyia squamipleuris sandflies from a visceral leishmaniasis focus in Merti sub-County, eastern Kenya

Barrack O. Owino, Milkah Mwangi, Steve Kiplagat…·Damaris Matoke-Muhia

The paper detects Leishmania and Trypanosoma species in sandflies from Kenya, implicating Sergentomyia squamipleuris in leishmaniasis transmission and suggesting zoonotic potential.
