Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinar - ReBraM /Brazilian Multidisciplinay Journal, 2011 Visceral Leishmaniasis was initially considered a disease associated with rural areas, but due to various environmental changes such as deforestation, urbanization, intensive migration process and endemic areas expansion, this disease is affecting humans

Systemic and compartmentalized immune response in canine visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]
Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2009 Human visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) are the most important emerging diseases with high prevalence in Latin American countries and are mainly caused by Leishmania (L.) chagasi (Syn=L. infantum). CVL has a great impact on Brazilian public health because domestic dogs are the most important VL peri-domicile reservoirs

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Leishmania sp. Amastigotes Identification in Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor
Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine, 2014 Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease with Leishmania chagasi being the etiological agent of canine visceral leishmaniasis in South America. Canine venereal tumor is a transplantable round cell tumor of histiocytic origin which is mostly observed in ...

Splenic immune responses during canine visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]
Veterinary Research, 2007 Dogs are the main reservoir host for zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania infantum. In this study we investigated the immune response in spleens of L. infantum-infected dogs by measuring the mRNA expression levels for a wide panel of cytokines, transcription factors and chemokines.

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract FAD/NAD(P)H‐dependent dehydrogenases form a structurally conserved family of redox enzymes that participate in essential metabolic processes across parasites and higher organisms. Among them, trypanothione reductase (TR) is a key component of the redox metabolism of Leishmania species and represents an attractive target for antileishmanial ...

An Autochthonous Case of Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis in Korea
The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2013 A 12-year-old spayed female mixed-bred dog presented with nasal bleeding of 2 days duration and a skin nodule in the left flank. No abnormalities were found in coagulation profiles and blood pressure. Cytological evaluation of the nodule revealed numerous characteristic round organisms having a nucleus and a bar within macrophages and in the background,

Slc11a1 (formerly Nramp1) and susceptibility to canine visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]
Veterinary Research, 2008 Visceral leishmaniasis is the most important zoonosis in Europe and it is caused by Leishmania infantum, a protozoan intracellular parasite. Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is endemic in the Mediterranean basin, Middle East, and South America, and is emerging within non endemic areas such as the United Kingdom and North America. We have analyzed 24

Thymus and Leishmania at the Crossroads: Autoimmunity and Cancer
Immunology, Volume 178, Issue 3, Page 377-386, July 2026.Conceptual ‘Crossroads Model’ linking Leishmania, thymic infection and immune dysregulation: an integrative model is proposed in which Leishmania infection disrupts thymic architecture and stromal–thymocyte interactions. These alterations converge to promote defective tolerance, increased autoimmune risk and a microenvironment permissive to malignant ...
