One Health – an Ecological and Evolutionary Framework for tackling Neglected Zoonotic Diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Understanding the complex population biology and transmission ecology of multihost parasites has been declared as one of the major challenges of biomedical sciences for the 21st century and the Neglected Zoonotic Diseases (NZDs) are perhaps the most ...

Leishmaniasis in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A National Multicenter Study of GETECCU

open access: yesUnited European Gastroenterology Journal, Volume 13, Issue 5, Page 674-684, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Leishmaniasis (LI) is a vector‐borne illness caused by a protozoan of the genus Leishmania. Data on the features of LI in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are scarce. Aim To describe the characteristics of patients with IBD who present with leishmaniasis, infection outcomes and the risk factors associated with ...

Identity of Herpetomonas papatasii and Leishmania tropica [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1926
THREE successful experiments have been recorded by us in which cutaneous leishmaniasis was transmitted to man by inoculation of Herpetomonas papatasii from naturally infected sandflies (Phlebotomus papatasii ♀ ♀) (Annals of Trap. Med. and Parasitol, vol. 20, No. 2).

Mesenchymal Stem Cells: A Double‐Edged Approach for Managing Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Lesions

open access: yesInternational Wound Journal, Volume 22, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Leishmania spp. are intracellular protozoan parasites responsible for leishmaniasis, a globally prevalent vector‐borne disease transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies. Within vertebrate hosts, the parasites preferentially infect macrophages and dendritic cells, leading to cell lysis and the formation of disfiguring lesions.

Detection, molecular typing and phylogenetic analysis of Leishmania isolated from cases of leishmaniasis among Syrian refugees in Lebanon

open access: yesParasite Epidemiology and Control, 2016
Leishmania is a parasitic protozoan with more than two-dozen species causing the disease leishmaniasis. It is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected female phlebotomine sand-fly vector.

The Modulation of NADPH Oxidase Activity in Human Neutrophils by Moroccan Strains of Leishmania major and Leishmania tropica Is Not Associated with p47phox Phosphorylation

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 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.

Molecular epidemiology of imported cases of leishmaniasis in Australia from 2008 to 2014 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
© 2015 Roberts et al. Leishmaniasis is a vector borne disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania. Human leishmaniasis is not endemic in Australia though imported cases are regularly encountered.

Characterization of Allobodo yubaba sp. nov. and Novijibodo darinka gen. et sp. nov., cultivable free‐living species of the phylogenetically enigmatic kinetoplastid taxon Allobodonidae

open access: yesJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Kinetoplastids are a large and diverse protist group, spanning ecologically important free‐living forms to medically important parasites. The taxon Allobodonidae holds an unresolved position within kinetoplastids, and the sole described species, Allobodo chlorophagus, is uncultivated, being a necrotroph/parasite of macroalgae. Here we describe

Arginase activity in pathogenic and non-pathogenic species of Leishmania parasites. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Proliferation of Leishmania (L.) parasites depends on polyamine availability, which can be generated by the L-arginine catabolism and the enzymatic activity of arginase (ARG) of the parasites and of the mammalian hosts.

Sequence analysis of the 3-untranslated region of HSP70 (type I) genes in the genus Leishmania: Its usefulness as a molecular marker for species identification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: The Leishmaniases are a group of clinically diverse diseases caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania. To distinguish between species is crucial for correct diagnosis and prognosis as well as for treatment decisions.
