Studies on the infectivity and pathogenecity of Leishmania species from Leishmaniasis diffusa and on the immune response of the host in laboratory animals [PDF]

1. The infectivity of three strains of Leishmania braziliensis pifanoi, strain V1 and V2 from Venezuela and L 15 from Brazil was studied in albino, hairless, "shaven" and "shaven" x albino mice; in hamsters, rats and guinea pigs. Rats and guinea-pigs

Unveiling the Leishmanicidal Mechanism of 4‐Nerolidylcatechol Isolated From Piper peltatum Against Leishmania infantum

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The present study assessed the leishmanicidal activity of 4‐nerolidylcatechol (4‐NC) (1) isolated from Piper peltatum leaves against promastigotes and amastigotes of Leishmania amazonensis, L. braziliensis, and L. infantum. The plant was fractionated, leading to the isolation and chemical identification of 4‐NC (1). Biochemical techniques were

The crystal structure of glucokinase from Leishmania braziliensis [PDF]

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2019
Glucokinase from pathogenic protozoa of the genus Leishmania is a potential drug target for the chemotherapeutic treatment against leishmaniasis because this enzyme is located at a nodal point between two critically important metabolic pathways, glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). L.

Sex in Immune Cells and Parasitic Diseases — A Complex Relationship

Immunological Reviews, Volume 337, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies consistently show that many parasitic diseases affect males more frequently than females. These disparities are multifactorial, arising partly from gender‐specific behaviors that influence exposure risk and health‐seeking practices, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Increasing evidence also highlights that

Dogs as Reservoirs forLeishmania braziliensis

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
To the Editor: I have read the review by Sousa and Pearson (1), which provides a fascinating historical account of the Great Drought and the smallpox epidemic of the 1870s and their association with the emergence of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Ceara, Brazil.

Mechanisms of Immune Evasion, Dissemination, and Persistence in Leishmania amazonensis Infection

Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Leishmania amazonensis is one of the etiological agents of cutaneous leishmaniasis in its localised form. Moreover, this parasite can cause more severe disease conditions, such as diffuse and disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis. The development of more severe clinical manifestations is associated with the parasite's ability to establish a ...
