Autochthonous Leishmaniasis Caused by Leishmania tropica, Identified by Using Whole-Genome Sequencing, Sri Lanka [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is atypical in Sri Lanka because Leishmania donovani, which typically causes visceral disease, is the causative agent. The origins of recently described hybrids between L. donovani and other Leishmania spp.

Inflammatory Nasal Swelling due to Leishmania tropica. [PDF]

Case Rep Dermatol Med, 2021
Since its discovery in the 19th century, cutaneous leishmaniasis has been a major public health problem, especially with the appearance of more and more unusual cases of cutaneous lesions due to this parasite. Indeed, the present study joins the previous studies and describes a typical case of a nasal lesion due to Leishmania infection.

Evaluation of Apoptotic Effect of Transgenic Leishmania tropica Expressing MLLO-Bax-Smac Fusion Gene in Infected Macrophages, an In Vitro Study [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Parasitology
Background: In the leishmaniasis parasitic infection, parasite escapes from the immune system of host or prevents macrophage apoptosis. It seems generating transgenic parasites to express proapoptotic proteins can accelerate the apoptosis of infected ...

Evolutionary history of Leishmania killicki (synonymous Leishmania tropica) and taxonomic implications [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background: Leishmania (L.) killicki is responsible for the chronic cutaneous leishmaniasis. The taxonomic status of this parasite is still not well defined. It was suggested on one hand to include this taxon within L.

Genomic Characterization of Leishmania tropica in Cutaneous Leishmaniasis, Somali Region, Ethiopia, 2023 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We sequenced Leishmania tropica genomes from 8 human skin samples collected in a newly emerging focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Somali region of Ethiopia. We found a variant with unique genomic signatures of drug resistance.

Canine leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania tropica in southeastern Iran: a case series study [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Dogs are the primary reservoirs of Leishmania infantum (L. infantum), but Leishmania tropica (L. tropica) infection is also possible in dogs and can transmitted to humans. The southeast of Iran experiences a high prevalence of canine leishmaniasis (CanL),
