Exploring Novel Nitrofuryl‐1,3,4‐Thiadiazole‐Based Derivatives: Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of In Vitro Leishmanicidal and Trypanocidal Activity

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 3, March 2026.
In a series of substituted 1‐[5‐(5‐nitrofuran‐2‐yl)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl]piperidine‐4‐carboxamides evaluated for in vitro antileishmanial and antitrypanosomal activity, compound 18 emerged as the most promising derivative, showing submicromolar anti‐parasitic effects targeting diverse Leishmania and Trypanosoma species and acceptable selectivity ...

The Modulation of NADPH Oxidase Activity in Human Neutrophils by Moroccan Strains of Leishmania major and Leishmania tropica Is Not Associated with p47^phox Phosphorylation

Microorganisms, 2021
Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) are the first phagocyte recruited and infected by Leishmania. They synthetize superoxide anions (O2−) under the control of the NADPH oxidase complex. In Morocco, Leishmania major and L.

Leishmania tropica in Morocco: infection in dogs

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1991
In Morocco, human cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania tropica covers a wide geographical area including the High Atlas (MARTY et al., 1989) and the western part of the Anti-Atlas mountain ranges. It is hypoendemic and found in rural locations, either in isolated homesteads or in a small villages,

The recombinant protein rSP03B is a valid antigen for screening dog exposure to Phlebotomus perniciosus across foci of canine leishmaniasis [PDF]

, 2017
The frequency of sandfly-host contacts can be measured by host antibody levels against sandfly salivary proteins. Recombinant salivary proteins are suggested to represent a valid replacement for salivary gland homogenate (SGH); however, it is necessary ...

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
