Antigenicity, Immunogenicity and Protective Efficacy of Three Proteins Expressed in the Promastigote and Amastigote Stages of Leishmania infantum against Visceral Leishmaniasis [PDF]

, 2015
In the present study, two Leishmania infantum hypothetical proteins present in the amastigote stage, LiHyp1 and LiHyp6, were combined with a promastigote protein, IgE-dependent histamine-releasing factor (HRF); to compose a polyproteins vaccine to be ...

Sex in Immune Cells and Parasitic Diseases — A Complex Relationship

Immunological Reviews, Volume 337, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies consistently show that many parasitic diseases affect males more frequently than females. These disparities are multifactorial, arising partly from gender‐specific behaviors that influence exposure risk and health‐seeking practices, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Increasing evidence also highlights that

Successful isolation of Leishmania infantum from Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (Acari : Ixodidae) collected from naturally infected dogs [PDF]

, 2015
Background: The main transmission route of Leishmania infantum is through the bites of sand flies. However, alternative mechanisms are being investigated, such as through the bites of ticks, which could have epidemiological relevance.

Comparative proteomic analysis of antimony-resistant and -susceptible Leishmania braziliensis and Leishmania infantum chagasi lines

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2013
The emergence of drug-resistant Leishmania species is a significant problem in several countries. A comparative proteomic analysis of antimony-susceptible and antimony-resistant Leishmania braziliensis (LbSbR) and Leishmania infantum chagasi (LcSbR) lines was carried out using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) followed by mass spectrometry (LC/

Diagnostic Challenges in Visceral Leishmaniasis in a 17‐Month‐Old Female: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Visceral leishmaniasis is an uncommon infectious disease. In this report, we present a case of VL in a 17‐month‐old child who presented with a fever and splenomegaly. After the patient failed to respond to several courses of antibiotics, a bone marrow aspirate confirmed the definitive diagnosis of VL, which was successfully treated with ...

Impact of LbSapSal Vaccine in Canine Immunological and Parasitological Features before and after Leishmania chagasi-Challenge.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Dogs represent the most important domestic reservoir of L. chagasi (syn. L. infantum). A vaccine against canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) would be an important tool for decreasing the anxiety related to possible L.

Macrophage Polarization in the Skin Lesion Caused by Neotropical Species of Leishmania sp

Journal of Immunology Research, 2021
Macrophages play important roles in the innate and acquired immune responses against Leishmania parasites. Depending on the subset and activation status, macrophages may eliminate intracellular parasites; however, these host cells also can offer a safe ...
