Evidence That Intracellular Stages of Leishmania major Utilize Amino Sugars as a Major Carbon Source

Intracellular parasites, such as Leishmania spp, must acquire suitable carbon sources from the host cell in order to replicate. Here we present evidence that intracellular amastigote stages of Leishmania exploit amino sugars in the phagolysosome of mammalian macrophages as a source of carbon and ene...
