Data detailed in 'Leishmania infantum: tuning digitonin fractionation for comparative proteomic of the mitochondrial protein content' have been presented. "Leishmania infantum belongs to the Kinetoplastidae that is characterized by a specific mitochondrial DNA, the kinetoplast. This parasite is responsible for both benign cutaneous leishmaniasis and severe visceral leishmaniasis in humans," researchers in Montpellier, France report.
