Cryoglobulinemia concurrent with Leishmania infantum infection in a dog and its interference with two automated hematology analyzers. [PDF]

Vet Clin Pathol
Abstract A 6‐year‐old, intact male English Bulldog presented for evaluation of weakness. Physical examination revealed mildly pale mucous membranes and ophthalmologic alterations. A complete blood cell count was performed on the Urit Smart V5 and the Sysmex XN‐1000V, and showed several hematologic discrepancies between the analyzers.

Identification of Chalcone Derivatives as Inhibitors of Leishmania infantum Arginase and Promising Antileishmanial Agents

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021
Arginase catalyzes the hydrolysis of l-arginine into l-ornithine and urea, acting as a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of polyamines. Leishmania growth and survival is dependent on polyamine biosynthesis; therefore, inhibition of Leishmania arginase may ...

Detection of Leishmania tarentolae in lizards, sand flies and dogs in southern Italy, where Leishmania infantum is endemic: hindrances and opportunities

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Leishmania tarentolae is a protozoan isolated from geckoes ( Tarentola annularis , Tarentola mauritanica ), which is considered non-pathogenic and is transmitted by herpetophilic Sergentomyia spp. sand flies.

Genes and Chromosomes of Leishmania infantum [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1997
During recent years, several Leishmania infantum genes have been cloned and characterized. Here, we have summarized the available information on the gene organization and expression in this protozoan parasite. From a comparative analysis, the following outstanding features were found to be common to most of the genes characterized: tandemly organized ...

Study of ocular manifestations and humoral immune response in eyes of dogs with leishmaniasis

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2023
Background Ocular manifestations in dogs with leishmaniasis are frequent and complications in affected tissues can lead to blindness. Immune processes play a very important role in the pathogenesis of ocular inflammation.

Colonization and genetic diversification processes of Leishmania infantum in the Americas

Communications Biology, 2021
Leishmania infantum causes visceral leishmaniasis, a deadly vector-borne disease introduced to the Americas during the colonial era. This non-native trypanosomatid parasite has since established widespread transmission cycles using alternative vectors ...

Leishmania infantum in US-Born Dog [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
Leishmaniasis is a vectorborne disease that can infect humans, dogs, and other mammals. We identified one of its causative agents, Leishmania infantum, in a dog born in California, USA, demonstrating potential for autochthonous infections in this country. Our finding bolsters the need for improved leishmaniasis screening practices in the United States.

Serological and Molecular Survey of Leishmania infantum in a Population of Iberian Lynxes (Lynx pardinus)

Microorganisms, 2022
Leishmania infantum, the sand fly-transmitted protozoan parasite responsible for leishmaniasis in humans, dogs, and cats, is endemic in the Iberian Peninsula. However, the impact of L. infantum infection on the conservation of the endangered Iberian lynx

Identification of adipocytes as target cells for Leishmania infantum parasites

Scientific Reports, 2021
Leishmania infantum is the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis transmitted by the bite of female sand flies. According to the WHO, the estimated annual incidence of leishmaniasis is one million new cases, resulting in 30,000 deaths per year.
