Treatment outcome of imported cutaneous leishmaniasis among travelers and migrants infected with Leishmania major and Leishmania tropica: a retrospective study in European centers 2013 to 2019

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2022
: Objectives: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Asia, Northern, and Sub-Saharan Africa is mainly caused by Leishmania major and Leishmania tropica. We describe and evaluate the treatment outcome of CL among travelers and migrants in Europe.

Isolation and molecular identification of cutaneous leishmaniasis in humans and dogs in middle Euphrates, Iraq [PDF]

Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences
In Iraq, one of the endemic illnesses is cutaneous Leishmaniasis. This study aimed to characterize local isolates of Leishmania tropica and Leishmania major molecularly and determine how closely related they were to reference isolates from nearby nations.

Aminophthalocyanine-Mediated Photodynamic Inactivation of Leishmania tropica [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2016
ABSTRACT Photodynamic inactivation of Leishmania spp. requires the cellular uptake of photosensitizers, e.g., endocytosis of silicon(IV)-phthalocyanines (PC) axially substituted with bulky ligands. We report here that when substituted with amino-containing ligands, the PCs (PC1 and PC2) were endocytosed ...
