The Landfear laboratory within the department of Molecular Microbiology & Immunology (MMI) studies single cell parasites, primarily Leishmania and the related African trypanosomes. Leishmania parasites are responsible for the widespread group of neglected infectious diseases collectively called leishmaniases (e.g., visceral leishmaniasis and cutaneous leishmaniasis), which afflict an estimated 12 million people globally. The related African trypanosomes, Trypanosoma brucei, cause African sleeping sickness in humans, a lethal disease, and nagana, an important veterinary disease in cattle.
