Description
Maria Eduarda da Veiga Oliveira and co-authors scope peptides as a cure path for leishmaniasis in a 2026 review. The disease burdens poor lands, with cures that are toxic, dear, and waning. Small antimicrobial peptides kill broadly and breed little resistance.
The review gathers near eighty studies on such peptides. Over two hundred distinct peptides were tested on the parasite. Most work stayed in dishes, on the two life stages of one main species. Lab made peptides beat natural ones on kill power and aim. They act chiefly by tearing the parasite skin. Peptides may give a safer next cure class.
