Abstract
⺠Expression of Leishmania donovani specific gene Ld1590 increased Leishmania major virulence. ⺠Ld1590 may encodes a nucleotide sugar transporter for UDP-Gal or CMP-sialic acid. ⺠Like other NSTs, Ld1590 NST is localized in Leishmania Golgi apparatus. ⺠Deletion of Ld1590 gene has no effect on L. donovani growth and virulence.
