New Epidemiological Feature of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in an Endemic Focus in Golestan Province
Background and Aim: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is an important health problem in Iran and one of the world ̛s neglected diseases which is caused by Leishmania spp. The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of cutaneous leishmaniasis and

Urban landscapes tend to increase the presence of pathogenic protozoa, microsporidia and viruses, but likely decrease the abundance of viruses in wild bees and wasps. [PDF]
• The bees Anthophora plumipes and Osmia cornuta had a higher occurrence probability of the neogregarine protozoan Apicystis bombi in more fragmented urban areas.• In the bee Halictus scabiosae and wasp Polistes dominula, hotter urban areas increased the likelihood of occurrence of viruses.• The viruses were found to be replicative in the samples, and ...

European propolis is highly active against trypanosomatids including Crithidia fasciculata [PDF]
Extracts of 35 samples of European propolis were tested against wild type and resistant strains of the protozoal pathogens Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma congolense and Leishmania mexicana.

The Growth and Nutrition of Crithidia fasciculata [PDF]
The conditions for luxuriant axenic cultivation of the trypanosomid flagellate Crithidia fasciculata in chemically-defined media were determined. Improvements over the hitherto published media include higher concentrations of amino acids, folic acid (where this is the sole source of pteridine) and purines and the inclusion of threonine and Tween 80 ...

Evaluation of the Crithidia Assay to Distinguish Between Autoimmune Chronic Active Hepatitis and Systemic Lupus-Erythematosus [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine if the Crithidia luciliae assay for auto‐antibodies to double‐stranded DNA, often positive in systemic lupus erythematosus, is always negative in auto‐immune chronic active hepatitis (CAH) as has recently been ...

Trypanosomatidae codon usage and GC distribution
A study od Typanosomatidae GC distribution and codon usage is presented. The codon usage patterns in coincidence with the phylogenetical data are similar in Crithidia and Leishmania, whereas they are more divergent in Trypanosoma brucei and T. cruzi. The

Pollen extracts and constituent sugars increase growth of a trypanosomatid parasite of bumble bees [PDF]
Phytochemicals produced by plants, including at flowers, function in protection against plant diseases, and have a long history of use against trypanosomatid infection.
