Natural infection of Didelphis aurita (Mammalia: Marsupialia) with Leishmania infantum in Brazil

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background The opossum Didelphis have been considered as natural hosts of Leishmania parasites in the New World, suggesting an important role in the epidemiology of Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL). Among six extant species that belong to the genus Didelphis,

Therapeutic Effects of Matricaria chamomilla Extract in an Immunosuppressed Mouse Model of Cryptosporidiosis

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) extract significantly reduced oocyst shedding and intestinal lesions in immunosuppressed mice infected with Cryptosporidium parvum, while enhancing antioxidant defences (GPx, TAC). These findings suggest chamomile as a promising phytotherapeutic agent for cryptosporidiosis. ABSTRACT Background Cryptosporidiosis, caused

Clinical Case and Follow‐Up of Babesia banethi Infection in a Red Fox

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
A naturally occurring Babesia banethi infection in a sick red fox was followed up for more than one year through cytology, haematobiochemical profiles and molecular analyses. Imidocarb treatment resulted in temporary clinical improvement and later relapse, whereas atovaquone/proguanil combined with azithromycin led to clinical recovery and parasite ...

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.

Treatment of Leishmania infantum Infections in Dogs

Microorganisms
Dogs are reservoir hosts of the zoonotic parasite Leishmania infantum, the causative agent of canine leishmaniosis. Antiparasitic drugs that are commonly used in dogs include allopurinol, miltefosine, and meglumine antimoniate. Treatment success is characterized by an improvement of disease signs, reduction in parasite load, as well as prevention of ...

Glycoprotein 63 (gp63) genes show gene conversion and reveal the evolution of Old World Leishmania.

, 2006
Species of the subgenus Leishmania (Leishmania) cause the debilitating disease leishmaniasis on four continents. Species grouped within the Leishmania donovani complex cause visceral leishmaniasis, a life-threatening disease, often associated with ...

Modeled structure of trypanothione reductase of Leishmania infantum

BMB Reports, 2008
Trypanothione reductase is an important target enzyme for structure-based drug design against Leishmania. We used homology modeling to construct a three-dimensional structure of the trypanothione reductase (TR) of Leishmania infantum. The structure shows acceptable Ramachandran statistics and a remarkably different active site from glutathione ...

Development of a multilocus microsatellite typing approach for discriminating strains of Leishmania (Viannia) species.

, 2009
A multilocus microsatellite typing (MLMT) approach based on the analysis of 15 independent loci has been developed for the discrimination of strains belonging to different Viannia species.

Leishmania infantum proteophosphoglycans regurgitated by the bite of its natural sand fly vector, Lutzomyia longipalpis, promote parasite establishment in mouse skin and skin-distant tissues

, 2010
We demonstrate that a proteophosphoglycan-rich gel secreted by Leishmania infantum inside the midgut of Lutzomyia longipalpis sand flies (promastigote secretory gel) is regurgitated along with an average dose of 500 L.
