Leishmaniasis is a group of parasitic diseases whose etiological agent is the protozoa Leishmania. These diseases afflict impoverished populations in tropical and subtropical regions and affect wild and domestic animals. Canine leishmaniasis is a global disease mostly caused by L. infantum.

Opportunities and challenges for modelling epidemiological and evolutionary dynamics in a multihost, multiparasite system: Zoonotic hybrid schistosomiasis in West Africa [PDF]
Multihost multiparasite systems are evolutionarily and ecologically dynamic, which presents substantial trans‐disciplinary challenges for elucidating their epidemiology and designing appropriate control.

Background: Understanding the immune pathogenesis mechanisms of leishmaniasis is crucial for developing effective therapeutic interventions. In this study, we investigated the effect of ivermectin (IVE) on the expression of transcription factors GATA‐binding protein 3 (GATA‐3), T‐bet, and ROR‐γt as well as wound healing Leishmania infection.

Incidence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in two Guatemalan communities.
The prevalence of human infection by Trypanosoma cruzi was assessed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in a serological survey in 1998 of 2 rural communities (SMH and PS) in Guatemala.

Leishmania tropica: Another Etiological Agent of Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis in Iran. [PDF]
Background: Dogs have been previously reported to be reservoirs of Leishmania infantum as the etiological agent of human visceral leishmaniasis in Iran. We report a case of canine visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by L.
