Natural infection of Didelphis aurita (Mammalia: Marsupialia) with Leishmania infantum in Brazil

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background The opossum Didelphis have been considered as natural hosts of Leishmania parasites in the New World, suggesting an important role in the epidemiology of Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL). Among six extant species that belong to the genus Didelphis,

Treatment of Leishmania infantum Infections in Dogs

Microorganisms
Dogs are reservoir hosts of the zoonotic parasite Leishmania infantum, the causative agent of canine leishmaniosis. Antiparasitic drugs that are commonly used in dogs include allopurinol, miltefosine, and meglumine antimoniate. Treatment success is characterized by an improvement of disease signs, reduction in parasite load, as well as prevention of ...

Exploring the Role of the MAPK Signalling Pathway in Dog Immunity: From Cancer to Parasitic Diseases

Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are intracellular signalling proteins that modulate several cellular processes, such as proliferation, cytokine production and survival. Like humans, dogs may exhibit changes in MAPK signalling under pathological conditions.

Unusual report of an immunocompetent patient with atypical cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum in Minas Gerais, Brazil [PDF]

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is endemic in Minas Gerais, Brazil; however, data on the circulating species remain limited. This study identified Leishmania species in he skin samples of patients in Montes Claros using molecular methods.

A rare case of lingual mucosal leishmaniasis caused by reactivation of Leishmania infantum infection

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Leishmania infantum is the only prevalent Leishmania species in Europe and manifesting predominantly as cutaneous or visceral leishmaniasis, whereas new world species like Leishmania (L.) braziliensis are well known pathogens in mucocutaneous ...

Development of a novel ddPCR assay for the simultaneous detection of the protozoan parasites Leishmania infantum and Leishmania tarentolae

Parasites & Vectors
Background Leishmaniases, caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania, are vector-borne diseases occurring mainly in the tropics and subtropics of the world, as well as in the Mediterranean Basin. In this area, the mammalian pathogen Leishmania

Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum and Leishmania (Sauroleishmania) tarentolae in outdoor cats and report of infection in feline-derived peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Parasites & Vectors
Background Feline leishmaniosis (FeL) is mainly caused by Leishmania infantum in the Mediterranean Basin. In Italy, in the same epidemiological context where canine leishmaniosis (CanL) is hyperendemic, a nonpathogenic species, Leishmania tarentolae, may

Modeled structure of trypanothione reductase of Leishmania infantum

BMB Reports, 2008
Trypanothione reductase is an important target enzyme for structure-based drug design against Leishmania. We used homology modeling to construct a three-dimensional structure of the trypanothione reductase (TR) of Leishmania infantum. The structure shows acceptable Ramachandran statistics and a remarkably different active site from glutathione ...
