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

United 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 ...

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

International 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.

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

Journal 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
