Evaluation of the Cutaneous Immunological Milieu Before and After Treatment With Meglumine Antimoniate in Dogs Naturally Affected by Leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum. [PDF]

Vet Dermatol
Background: Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) is a zoonotic disease of variable severity. The typical immune response is driven by an exaggerated humoral immune response. Protective immunity is mediated by pro‐inflammatory cytokines that enhance macrophage leishmanicidal activity. Objective: To evaluate the cutaneous and the systemic immune responses as well

Detection of Leishmania infantum DNA mainly in Rhipicephalus sanguineus male ticks removed from dogs living in endemic areas of canine leishmaniosis

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.

Increased transmission potential of Leishmania major/Leishmania infantum hybrids [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology, 2007
Development of Leishmania infantum/Leishmania major hybrids was studied in two sand fly species. In Phlebotomus papatasi, which supported development of L. major but not L. infantum, the hybrids produced heavy late-stage infections with high numbers of metacyclic promastigotes.
