Epidemiology and control of canine leishmaniasis in Peru and Brazil [PDF]
The aims of the work presented in this thesis were two-fold: [i) to investigate whether domestic dogs are important reservoir hosts of ACL in a L. [Viannia]-endemic area where domestic transmission to humans has been reported [Part 1]; and [ii] to ...

Oral treatment with HSP65‐producing Lactococcus lactis after Leishmania braziliensis infection modulates inflammation by promoting lesion resolution through increased IL‐10 production and expansion of regulatory T cells. These findings highlight the potential of oral tolerance induction as a promising therapeutic strategy for chronic inflammatory ...

Sex in Immune Cells and Parasitic Diseases — A Complex Relationship
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

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