Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 246-259, June 2026.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 ...

Osteopontin in the host response to Leishmania amazonensis [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2019 Leishmania (L.) spp are intracellular eukaryotic parasites responsible for cutaneous or visceral leishmaniasis, replicating predominantly in macrophages (MF). In C57BL/6 mice virulence with L. amazonensis has been associated with inhibition of Th1 immune responses and an uncontrolled lesion development, whereas DBA/2 mice control any lesion.

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 314-325, June 2026.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).

, 2012 Work in large part on Leishmania major in the 1980s identified two distinct apparently counter-regulatory CD4 T cell populations, T helper (h)1 and Th2, that controlled resistance/susceptibility to infection respectively.

Structural basis of secreted acid phosphatase polymerization in the Leishmania parasite
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.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 ...

Hairless mice as an experimental model of infection with Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis
Experimental Parasitology, 2015 HRS/J Hairless mice have been investigated as an experimental model in cutaneous leishmaniasis induced by Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis. The animals were inoculated with 10(6) promastigotes into the right hind footpad and the course of infection was followed up for 30, 60 and 90 days. BALB/c mice were infected and used as control.

Active sesquiterpene lactones against Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania braziliensis [PDF]
Natural Product Research, 2016 Seventeen sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) isolated from five species of the tribe Vernonieae were evaluated for their in vitro activity against promastigotes of Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania braziliensis. Additionally, a quantitative structure activity relationship has been made, since all these natural compounds were found to have potent to mild ...
