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]

, 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.

Therapeutic Effect of Barberry (Berberis vulgaris) Root Extract on Experimental Cutaneous Leishmaniosis in a BALB/c Mouse Model

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Barberry (Berberis vulgaris) root extract shows potential in treating cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania major. In a BALB/c mouse model, treatment significantly reduced wound size and parasite load while enhancing inflammatory markers IL‐1 and IL‐6. These results highlight barberry's therapeutic promise against leishmaniasis.

Epidemiological aspects of canine visceral leishmaniosis in the Islamic Republic of Iran [PDF]

, 2005
An epidemiological study to examine the sero-prevalence of zoonotic visceral leishmaniosis (ZVL) among domestic and wild canines in endemic foci of Iran was carried out during 1999-2003 to assess the distribution of the disease and the possible ...

Antiprotozoal Activity of Highly Substituted Pyrazole and Pyrimidine Derivatives

ChemMedChem, Volume 20, Issue 16, August 16, 2025.
Based on previously identified antimalarial agents, a series of highly substituted pyrazole and pyrimidines derivatives has been synthesized and tested for antiplasmodial and antileishmanial activity. Selected derivatives show promising antiplasmodial effect with a predicted favorable pharmacokinetic profile.

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

, 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 ...

Evaluation of antigens for the serodiagnosis of kala-azar and oriental sores by means of the indirect immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT) [PDF]

, 1981
Antigens and corresponding sera were collected from travellers with leishmaniasis returning to Germany from different endemic areas of the old world. The antigenicity of these Leishmania strains, which were maintained in Syrian hamsters, was compared by ...

IL‐12 and IFN‐γ in Response to Leishmania Infantum Antigens in Felines From an Endemic Area for Visceral Leishmaniasis

Parasite Immunology, Volume 47, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Visceral leishmaniasis is a potentially fatal zoonosis with an increasing incidence. Most infected felines present the disease in its subclinical form and demonstrate greater resistance to parasitemia than dogs. However, the role of cellular immunity in felines is still poorly understood. This study measured serum levels of interleukin (IL)‐12

Distribution of putative male sex pheromones among Lutzomyia sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae).

, 2002
Male Lutzomyia longipalpis produce terpene sex pheromones in glandular tissue underlying the cuticle. The pheromones are transmitted to the surface via cuticle-lined ducts (measuring 0.25 microm in diameter), each of which reaches the surface in the ...
