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

open access: yesParasites & 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.

In Situ Evaluation of Macrophage Populations and Inflammasome Components in Cutaneous and Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis

open access: yesParasite Immunology, Volume 47, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL) affects the skin and mucous membranes, with a spectrum shaped by Th1/Th2 responses. This study investigated inflammasome activation in correlation with macrophage subpopulations, tissue parasitism, and histological changes in cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis. We assessed inflammasome activation,

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

open access: yesParasites & 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,

Infectiousness in a Cohort of Brazilian Dogs: Why Culling Fails to Control Visceral Leishmaniasis in Areas of High Transmission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The elimination of seropositive dogs in Brazil has been used to control zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis but with little success. To elucidate the reasons for this, the infectiousness of 50 sentinel dogs exposed to natural Leishmania chagasi infection was

Transcription of toll-like receptors 2, 3, 4 and 9, FoxP3 and Th17 cytokines in a susceptible experimental model of canine Leishmania infantum infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) due to Leishmania infantum is a chronic zoonotic systemic disease resulting from complex interactions between protozoa and the canine immune system.

Infection of Human Neutrophils With Leishmania infantum or Leishmania major Strains Triggers Activation and Differential Cytokines Release

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Leishmaniases are neglected diseases, caused by intracellular protozoan parasites of the Leishmania (L.) genus. Although the principal host cells of the parasites are macrophages, neutrophils are the first cells rapidly recruited to the site of parasites

Antiprotozoal Activity of Highly Substituted Pyrazole and Pyrimidine Derivatives

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 20, Issue 16, August 16, 2025.
Based on previously identified antimalarial agents, a series of highly substituted pyrazole and pyrimidines derivatives has been synthesized and tested for antiplasmodial and antileishmanial activity. Selected derivatives show promising antiplasmodial effect with a predicted favorable pharmacokinetic profile.

Killed but metabolically active Leishmania infantum as a novel whole-cell vaccine for visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
There are currently no effective vaccines for visceral leishmaniasis, the second most deadly parasitic infection in the world. Here, we describe a novel whole-cell vaccine approach using Leishmania infantum chagasi promastigotes treated with the psoralen
