First Detection and Molecular Analysis of Leishmania infantum DNA in Sand Flies of Kosovo

Pathogens, 2023
Phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) are the principal vectors of phleboviruses and Leishmania spp., the causative agents of leishmaniases. The Mediterranean sand fly fauna is diverse, and leishmaniasis, mainly caused by Leishmania infantum, is

Molecular confirmation of Leishmania infantum infection in the sand fly vector Phlebotomus neglectus (Diptera: Phlebotominae) in Slovenia

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Leishmania DNA was confirmed in phlebotomine sand flies collected in Slovenia. Molecular analyses confirmed Leishmania infantum in a pool of Phlebotomus neglectus females with a high parasite DNA load. The findings indicate potential conditions for local transmission and support continued entomological surveillance.

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

Idiopathic immune‐mediated polyarthritis in a dog associated with ionised hypercalcaemia and probable ischaemic dermatopathy

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, November 2026.
Abstract A 5‐year‐old, spayed, female Shiba Inu was presented with a 6‐week history of reduced appetite, lethargy and generalised stiffness, which showed only limited improvement despite anti‐inflammatory treatment. The most significant clinical abnormalities were pyrexia, stiffness, pain on joint manipulation and cutaneous lesions. Laboratory findings

Visualisation of Leishmania donovani fluorescent hybrids during early stage development in the sand fly vector. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: The Leishmania protozoan parasites cause devastating human diseases. Leishmania have been considered to replicate clonally, without genetic exchange.

Serological and molecular survey of Leishmania parasites in apparently healthy dogs in the West Bank, Palestine

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is caused by Leishmania infantum in all Mediterranean countries. The Leishmania parasite is transmitted by the bite of a corresponding sand fly vector and primarily maintained in nature by wild and domestic ...
