Chagas disease and leishmaniasis are neglected tropical disorders caused by the protozoans Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania spp. Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) from these protozoans (α-TcCA and β-LdcCA) have been validated as promising targets for chemotherapic interventions. Many anti-protoz...
