Résumé
Leishmaniasis comprises of a wide variety of diseases, caused by protozoan parasite belonging to the genus Leishmania. Leishmania parasites undergo different types of stress during their lifetime and have developed strategies to overcome this damage. Identifying the mechanistic approach used by the parasite in dealing with the stress is of immense importance for unfolding the survival strategy adopted by the parasite. Mevalonate kinase (MVK) is an important regulatory factor in the mevalonate pathway in both bacteria and eukaryotes. In this study, we explored the role of Leishmania donovani mevalonate kinase (LdMVK) in parasite survival under stress condition. Hydrogen peroxide (H
