Brain Involvement in Leishmaniasis

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by infection with the protozoan parasite Leishmania and it is a significant global health problem. The disease has a wide clinical spectrum, from tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) that encompasses cutaneous (CL), mucosal (ML) and cutaneous‐diffuse (CDL) forms, to the potentially fatal systemic ...

The Regulatory Effect of Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) 1 and 2 on iNOS, IL‐6, TNF‐α and IL‐10 Expression in Canine Macrophages Infected With Leishmania infantum

Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis is caused by Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum. Dogs are considered the most critical urban reservoirs of L. (L.) infantum due to their high infection rate and direct transmission to humans. The parasite has developed mechanisms to evade the host's defence system by inhibiting macrophage activation, thereby ...

Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology

Journal of Microscopy, Volume 301, Issue 2, Page 280-329, February 2026.
Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model

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 ...
