Cryptic Leishmania infantum infection in Italian HIV infected patients

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2009
Background Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a protozoan diseases caused in Europe by Leishmania (L.) infantum. Asymptomatic Leishmania infection is more frequent than clinically apparent disease.

Molecular approaches for a better understanding of the epidemiology and population genetics of Leishmania. [PDF]

, 2010
Molecular approaches are being used increasingly for epidemiological studies of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniases. Several molecular markers resolving genetic differences between Leishmania parasites at species and strain levels have been developed to

Miltefosine induces metacaspase and PARP genes expression in Leishmania infantum

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011
Objectives: Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death (PCD) that occurs in both animal and plant cells. Protozoan parasites possess metacaspase and these caspase-related proteases could be involved in the PCD pathways in these organisms ...

Maternal Leishmania infantum infection status has significant impact on leishmaniasis in offspring. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
Visceral Leishmaniasis is a deadly disease caused by Leishmania infantum, endemic in more than 98 countries across the globe. Although the most common means of transmission is via a sand fly vector, there is growing evidence that vertical transmission ...

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.

Prevalence of Leishmania species among patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis in Qassim province of Saudi Arabia

BMC Public Health, 2019
Background Leishmaniasis is a parasitic infection endemic in more than ninety countries of the world. The cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a most common form of leishmaniasis and it remains to be a major public health issue in Saudi Arabia. This study was

The molecular epidemiology and phylogeography of Trypanosoma cruzi and parallel research on Leishmania: looking back and to the future. [PDF]

, 2009
Trypanosoma cruzi is the protozoan agent of Chagas disease, and the most important parasitic disease in Latin America. Protozoa of the genus Leishmania are global agents of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis, fatal and disfiguring diseases.
