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

Relapsing Nasal Septal Leishmaniasis: Lessons in Long‐Term Multidisciplinary Management Case Report

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Introduction Mucosal leishmaniasis (ML) is a rare, destructive, and recurrent protozoal infection caused by Leishmania species, most commonly Leishmania braziliensis. ML can develop months to years after initial cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) and may lead to severe mucosal destruction if untreated.

Leishmaniasis Transmission Risk at the Forest‐Peridomestic Interface in an Area of Southern Sinaloa, Mexico: Entomological, Molecular, and Climatic Evidence

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Leishmaniasis, caused by Leishmania spp. and transmitted by phlebotomine sand flies, affects almost 1,000,000 people annually across more than 90 countries. In Mexico, growing evidence of locally acquired transmission in northwestern states makes ecoepidemiological work increasingly urgent.

Evidence Gaps and Global Patterns in Leishmaniasis Control: A Scoping Review of Clinical, Diagnostic, and Treatment Strategies

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease with diverse clinical forms, heterogeneous geographical distribution, and persistent diagnostic and treatment challenges. Although substantial primary research exists, evidence remains fragmented, limiting integrated and context‐specific control strategies.
