Cortisol Regulates PD‐1 and IL‐12 in Canine Leishmaniasis

Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CanL) is a tropical zoonosis caused by Brazil's protozoan Leishmania (L.) infantum. Disorders in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis have been reported in human and experimental visceral leishmaniasis, but not yet in canine leishmaniasis.

Assessment of Leishmania exposure in blood donors from a non‐endemic urban area: A study in São Paulo

Vox Sanguinis, Volume 121, Issue 2, Page 160-168, February 2026.
Abstract Background and Objectives According to the World Health Organization, more than 1 billion people are at risk of leishmaniasis in over 89 countries. Environmental changes such as deforestation, urban expansion and climate change facilitate the spread of sand fly vectors and reservoirs, increasing disease transmission.

Leishmaniasis in Morocco: Epidemiology, Transmission Dynamics, and the Potential of Artificial Intelligence for Disease Management

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Leishmaniases are neglected tropical diseases caused by Leishmania parasites and transmitted by infected phlebotomine sand flies, and they remain a major public health challenge in Morocco. The burden is dominated by cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) and visceral leishmaniasis (VL), mainly associated with Leishmania major, Leishmania tropica, and L ...

Leishmaniasis Transmission Risk at the Forest‐Peridomestic Interface in an Area of Southern Sinaloa, Mexico: Entomological, Molecular, and Climatic Evidence

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Leishmaniasis, caused by Leishmania spp. and transmitted by phlebotomine sand flies, affects almost 1,000,000 people annually across more than 90 countries. In Mexico, growing evidence of locally acquired transmission in northwestern states makes ecoepidemiological work increasingly urgent.
