Development of a LAMP assay for detection of Leishmania infantum infection in dogs using conjunctival swab samples [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: Leishmania infantum infections in dogs play a crucial role in the transmission of pathogens causing visceral leishmaniasis to humans in the Gansu province, northwest China. To be able to control zoonotic transmission of the parasite to humans,

Structural basis of secreted acid phosphatase polymerization in the Leishmania parasite

open access: yesProtein 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 ...

In Vitro Evaluation of Antileishmanial Activity of Commiphora myrrha Essential Oil Nanoliposome

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study investigates the efficacy of nanoliposomal formulations containing myrrh essential oil in combating Leishmania protozoa in laboratory settings. Myrrh essential oil and nanoliposomes were prepared in RPMI‐1640 medium at concentrations of 1, 2, 5 and 10 µg/dL.

Mixed Mucosal Leishmaniasis Infection Caused by Leishmania tropica and Leishmania major [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Microbiology, 2012
ABSTRACT Mixed infections with different Leishmania species could explain differences in the clinical courses of these infections. On identification of Leishmania parasites from Iranian patients with mucosal leishmaniasis (ML), a patient with both oral and nasal lesions was found to

Brain Involvement in Leishmaniasis

open access: yesCell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by infection with the protozoan parasite Leishmania and it is a significant global health problem. The disease has a wide clinical spectrum, from tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) that encompasses cutaneous (CL), mucosal (ML) and cutaneous‐diffuse (CDL) forms, to the potentially fatal systemic ...

Domestic dog ownership in Iran is a risk factor for human infection with Leishmania infantum. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
One explanation proposed for the widespread failure to control zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis by culling infected domestic dogs is that wild canids or humans play significant roles in transmission.

Leishmania Extracellular Vesicles as a Preventive Vaccine Platform Against Leishmaniasis

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2026.
The potential of Leishmania‐derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a vaccine platform was investigated, emphasizing an affordable, GMP‐compliant production and purification method. Immunization with EV vaccines, either unadjuvanted or combined with α‐galactosylceramide (αGC), induced robust humoral and cellular immune responses, conferring protection ...
