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.

Leishmania infantum in the reproductive organs of dogs [PDF]

Ciência Rural, 2021
ABSTRACT: Leishmania infantum causes canine leishmaniasis. Using parasitological and molecular analyses, we identified L. infantum in the reproductive organs of male and female dogs. Using histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and PCR, we examined tissue samples from the reproductive organs of 8 male dogs and 16 female dogs diagnosed with leishmaniasis.

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.

The estimated distribution of autochthonous leishmaniasis by Leishmania infantum in Europe in 2005–2020

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023
Background This study describes the spatial and temporal distribution between 2005 and 2020 of human and animal leishmaniasis by Leishmania infantum in European countries reporting autochthonous cases, and highlights potential activities to improve ...

Association between feline immunodeficiency virus and Leishmania infantum infections in cats: a retrospective matched case-control study

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Feline leishmaniosis caused by Leishmania infantum is often associated with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection; however, the role and clinical significance of this coinfection remain unknown.

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.

A cross-sectional study of Leishmania infantum infection in stray cats in the city of Zaragoza (Spain) using serology and PCR

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Feline leishmaniosis is a vector-borne parasitic disease caused by Leishmania spp. Leishmania infection in dogs is prevalent in the Mediterranean basin, but in other animals, such as cats, it could also play a role in the epidemiology of the ...
