Natural Resistance of Leishmania infantum to Miltefosine Contributes to the Low Efficacy in the Treatment of Visceral Leishmaniasis in Brazil

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2019
. In India, visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by Leishmania donovani has been successfully treated with miltefosine with a cure rate of > 90%. To assess the efficacy and safety of oral miltefosine against Brazilian VL, which is caused by Leishmania ...

Plant polysaccharide‐capped nanoparticles: A sustainable approach to modulate gut microbiota and advance functional food applications

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 24, Issue 2, March 2025.
Abstract Plant‐derived polysaccharides have emerged as sustainable biopolymers for fabricating nanoparticles (polysaccharide‐based nanomaterials [PS‐NPs]), presenting unique opportunities to enhance food functionality and human health. PS‐NPs exhibit exceptional biocompatibility, biodegradability, and structural versatility, enabling their integration ...

Determining Leishmania Infection Levels by Automatic Analysis of Microscopy Images [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
Analysis of microscopy images is one important tool in many fields of biomedical research, as it allows the quantification of a multitude of parameters at the cellular level. However, manual counting of these images is both tiring and unreliable and ultimately very time-consuming for biomedical researchers.

Leishmania infantum-specific IFN-γ production in stimulated blood from cats living in areas where canine leishmaniosis is endemic

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Feline leishmaniosis caused by Leishmania infantum is considered a rare disease in endemic areas, whereas subclinical infections are common. Immune response plays a key role in driving the course of L.

Exposure to West Nile Virus in Wild Lagomorphs in Spanish Mediterranean Ecosystems

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 207-214, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Background West Nile virus (WNV) is the most widely distributed mosquito‐borne flavivirus. Over the past decade, its spread across Europe has raised significant concerns for both public and animal health. Although WNV exposure has been evidenced in various wild mammal species in Spain, no seroepidemiological studies have been conducted on this

Leishmania infection in cats and dogs housed together in an animal shelter reveals a higher parasite load in infected dogs despite a greater seroprevalence among cats

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background An outbreak of leishmaniosis was studied in cats and dogs housed together with no separation in an animal shelter in Israel. Methods The study included recording of clinical signs, serology for Leishmania infection by ELISA, PCR of blood for ...
