Therapeutic Effects of Matricaria chamomilla Extract in an Immunosuppressed Mouse Model of Cryptosporidiosis

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) extract significantly reduced oocyst shedding and intestinal lesions in immunosuppressed mice infected with Cryptosporidium parvum, while enhancing antioxidant defences (GPx, TAC). These findings suggest chamomile as a promising phytotherapeutic agent for cryptosporidiosis. ABSTRACT Background Cryptosporidiosis, caused

Transmission potential of paromomycin-resistant Leishmania infantum and Leishmania donovani

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2019
AbstractObjectivesFormer studies demonstrated quick selection of paromomycin resistance for Leishmania infantum and Leishmania donovani accompanied by increased fitness. The present study aimed to interpret these findings in an epidemiological context by comparing infection of WT and experimentally derived paromomycin-resistant strains in the sand fly ...

Clinical Case and Follow‐Up of Babesia banethi Infection in a Red Fox

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
A naturally occurring Babesia banethi infection in a sick red fox was followed up for more than one year through cytology, haematobiochemical profiles and molecular analyses. Imidocarb treatment resulted in temporary clinical improvement and later relapse, whereas atovaquone/proguanil combined with azithromycin led to clinical recovery and parasite ...

Comparison of visceral leishmaniasis diagnostic antigens in African and Asian Leishmania donovani reveals extensive diversity and region-specific polymorphisms. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), caused by infection with Leishmania donovani complex, remains a major public health problem in endemic regions of South Asia, East Africa, and Brazil. If untreated, symptomatic VL is usually fatal.

Risk Profiles for Leishmania infantum Infection in Brazil [PDF]

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2016
The aim of this study was to characterize risk profiles for Leishmania infantum infection in a population living in an area endemic for visceral leishmaniasis. A cohort study was conducted between January 2004 and December 2006 with the participation of 430 individuals living in the city of Teresina, northeast Brazil, who were initially negative for ...

Cellular immune response of Amblyomma sculptum and Amblyomma americanum to entomopathogenic fungi: Implications for biological tick control

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 582-594, September 2026.
Amblyomma sculptum showed a plasmatocyte‐dominant haemocyte profile. Beauveria bassiana increased plasmatocytes and reduced granulocytes, whereas Metarhizium robertsii did not cause significant changes. Amblyomma americanum showed a granulocyte‐dominant haemocyte profile. Beauveria bassiana reduced total haemocytes and granulocytes. B.

Canine Leishmaniosis in Italy: Geospatial Trends and Incidence, a Shift in Epidemiological Approach

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 584-593, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) has shown a marked geographic expansion in Italy, progressively affecting central and northern regions previously considered non‐endemic. Laboratory‐based prevalence estimates remain informative in well‐designed surveys; however, prevalence derived from diagnostic submissions may be influenced by study ...
