Serosurveillance of Leishmania infantum in Zoo-Kept Animals in Spain. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Introduction Leishmaniosis is a sand fly‐borne zoonosis mainly caused by Leishmania infantum in Europe. Exposure to this protozoan has been widely reported in many domestic and wild species. However, epidemiological surveys evaluating the circulation of L. infantum in zoo‐kept animals remain limited. This large‐scale study aims to evaluate the

Unveiling the Leishmanicidal Mechanism of 4-Nerolidylcatechol Isolated From Piper peltatum Against Leishmania infantum. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
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

Detection of Leishmania infantum DNA mainly in Rhipicephalus sanguineus male ticks removed from dogs living in endemic areas of canine leishmaniosis [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background Sand flies are the only biologically adapted vectors of Leishmania parasites, however, a possible role in the transmission of Leishmania has been proposed for other hematophagous ectoparasites such as ticks.

Unusual report of an immunocompetent patient with atypical cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum in Minas Gerais, Brazil [PDF]

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is endemic in Minas Gerais, Brazil; however, data on the circulating species remain limited. This study identified Leishmania species in he skin samples of patients in Montes Claros using molecular methods.

Development of a novel ddPCR assay for the simultaneous detection of the protozoan parasites Leishmania infantum and Leishmania tarentolae [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Leishmaniases, caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania, are vector-borne diseases occurring mainly in the tropics and subtropics of the world, as well as in the Mediterranean Basin. In this area, the mammalian pathogen Leishmania

A rare case of lingual mucosal leishmaniasis caused by reactivation of Leishmania infantum infection [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Leishmania infantum is the only prevalent Leishmania species in Europe and manifesting predominantly as cutaneous or visceral leishmaniasis, whereas new world species like Leishmania (L.) braziliensis are well known pathogens in mucocutaneous ...

Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum and Leishmania (Sauroleishmania) tarentolae in outdoor cats and report of infection in feline-derived peripheral blood mononuclear cells [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Feline leishmaniosis (FeL) is mainly caused by Leishmania infantum in the Mediterranean Basin. In Italy, in the same epidemiological context where canine leishmaniosis (CanL) is hyperendemic, a nonpathogenic species, Leishmania tarentolae, may

Heterogeneities in leishmania infantum infection : using skin parasite burdens to identify highly infectious dogs [PDF]

, 2013
Background: The relationships between heterogeneities in host infection and infectiousness (transmission to arthropod vectors) can provide important insights for disease management.
