This study was to describe the composition of sand fly fauna, detect potential vectors of Leishmania spp. in the Tinguá district, an ATL endemic, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Seven species of vectorial importance in the epidemiological cycle of leishmaniasis was observed: Nyssomyia intermedia, Migonemyia migonei, Pintomyia fischeri, Psychodopygus hirsutus ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Canine Leishmaniasis is a vector‐borne zoonotic disease caused by several species of protozoa of the genus Leishmania. In the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Leishmania braziliensis is the most prevalent species causing tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) and Leishmania infantum is the main causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL).

Ferulic acid (FERH) is known to exert leishmanicidal action against Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis. In this study, the ferulate anion (FER–) was intercalated into a layered double hydroxide (LDH) for FER– delivery during an antileishmania in vitro ...

Structural basis of secreted acid phosphatase polymerization in the Leishmania parasite
Abstract Enzymes that assemble into filaments typically transition between protomeric and polymeric states in response to cellular conditions. In contrast, the secreted acid phosphatase (SAP) of Leishmania, one of the most abundant extracellular glycoproteins produced by the parasite and regarded as a major virulence factor in the neglected tropical ...

Nano‐encapsulated Cinnamomum cassia essential oil (nano‐CC‐EO) showed in vitro antifungal activity against fluconazole‐resistant Nakaseomyces glabratus and Pichia kudriavzevii clinical isolates. Checkerboard assays revealed synergistic or additive interactions between nano‐CC‐EO and fluconazole in several isolates, without evidence of antagonism. These

Studies on immunology of Leishmania mexicana [PDF]
Leishmaniasis is a worldwide disease prevalent in many tropical and sub tropical countries. Treatment of Leishmaniasis by chemotherapy is not wholly effective and is usually accompanied by unpleasant side effects.

Peptides as a Therapeutic Alternative Against Leishmaniasis: A Scoping Review
This scoping review of 79 studies identified 231 antimicrobial peptides with anti‐Leishmania activity, including natural‐derived and synthetic peptides (inspired by natural sources or developed through rational design). Most were evaluated in vitro against promastigote and/or amastigote forms, with synthetic peptides showing a more promising effect ...
