Evaluating the effect of immunization with DNA encoding Phlebotomus sergenti apyrase protein (PsSP42) against Leishmania tropica infection in BALB/c mouse model

Parasites & Vectors
Background Leishmania parasites are transmitted through the bite of infected female sand flies. The sand fly inoculum contains both the parasite and the salivary proteins, which can modulate the immune system’s function.

Morphogenesis Dynamics in Leishmania Differentiation

Pathogens, 2022
Leishmania, the causative agent of leishmaniasis, is an obligatory intracellular parasite that cycles between phagolysosome of mammalian macrophages, where it resides as round intracellular amastigotes, and the midgut of female sandflies, where it ...

Evolutionary history of Leishmania killicki (synonymous Leishmania tropica) and taxonomic implications [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Leishmania (L.) killicki is responsible for the chronic cutaneous leishmaniasis. The taxonomic status of this parasite is still not well defined. It was suggested on one hand to include this taxon within L.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
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.

Tissue Cytokine Responses in Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis [PDF]

, 2001
To elucidate the local tissue cytokine response of dogs infected with Leishmania chagasi, cytokine mRNA levels were measured in bone marrow aspirates from 27 naturally infected dogs from Brazil and were compared with those from 5 uninfected control ...

Cellular immune response of Amblyomma sculptum and Amblyomma americanum to entomopathogenic fungi: Implications for biological tick control

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Amblyomma sculptum showed a plasmatocyte‐dominant haemocyte profile. Beauveria bassiana increased plasmatocytes and reduced granulocytes, whereas Metarhizium robertsii did not cause significant changes. Amblyomma americanum showed a granulocyte‐dominant haemocyte profile. Beauveria bassiana reduced total haemocytes and granulocytes. B.

The role of neutrophils in the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel diseases

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses a spectrum of chronic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, with a potential bidirectional relationship with periodontitis. Neutrophils are key regulators of immune‐inflammatory responses and play a major role in both diseases.

Production of Recombinant Leishmania Tropica Parasites Expressing Two Proteins of Egfp and Luciferase Reporter

Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, 2017
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: L. tropica is the major cause of cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis in Iran. Due to lack of an accurate, sensitive and noninvasive detection test in animal model is a major problem. Here, we designed L.
