This book contains a collection of critical reviews on the
expression of biologically functional proteins in" Leishmania" and
"Trypanosoma," which was written by renowned researchers on this
field. Species belonging to these trypanosomatids genera are
etiological agents of leishmaniasis, Chagas disease and sleeping
sickness that are extremely debilitating human infection diseases,
which remain a major health problem especially in countries from
Latin America, Africa and Middle East. Substantiating the problem,
the currently accepted drugs for these diseases are quiet
unsatisfying due to their low efficacy and high toxicity. In order
to solve these real problems, several research groups around the
world have become involved in the study and identification of novel
potential targets in the trypanosomatid cell. Since proteins are
key macromolecules involved in crucial metabolic processes of all
living cells, studies have focused on the expression of specific
proteins produced by "Leishmania "and "Trypanosoma" by means of
different biochemical, molecular and proteomic approaches in order
to explore them as targets for understanding the parasite life
cycle and developing new strategies against trypanosomiasis. With
these proposals in mind, the book Proteins and Proteomics of
"Leishmania "and "Trypanosoma" encompasses (i) an integrated view
about the biochemistry of parasites belonging to the "Leishmania"
and "Trypanosoma "genera; (ii) an updated review on the expression
of biologically relevant proteins by human pathogenic
trypanosomatids and their possible role in the interaction with
host cells/molecules as well as a target for development of both
alternative chemotherapies and vaccine; and (iii) several pictures,
diagrams and tables that can be used to illustrate both
undergraduate and postgraduate teaching as well as scientific
lectures, being a useful resource for students and researchers."
