Gain-of-function STAT1 mutation and visceral leishmaniasis
Einstein (São Paulo), 2022 Gain-of-function mutations in the STAT1 gene have been initially associated with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. However, further research has shown that STAT1 GOF variants may increase susceptibility to infection by other intracellular pathogens ...

Epidemiology of cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis in Nicaragua
Parasite Epidemiology and Control, 2020 Leishmaniasis is a major neglected tropical disease which contributes a huge economic burden on already meager economic resources. The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated an annual incidence of 700,000--1,000,000 patients and about 20,000-30,000 deaths per year. Approximately 66,941 patients of cutaneous leishmaniasis are reported annually in

Pixelated pathologies: Camera trapping as a tool for monitoring wildlife health
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 11, Page 2894-2913, November 2025.Given the increasing emergence of diseases, some with conservation and public health implications, improving and expanding wildlife health surveillance strategies is imperative. Camera trapping is particularly relevant for detecting new outbreaks, monitoring high‐risk zones and evaluating risk mitigation measures. Abstract Camera trapping has become an

Antileishmanial Activities of Carvacrol Nanoencapsulate in Biopolymeric Nanoparticles
Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 9, September 2025.The study obtained biopolymeric nanoparticles containing carvacrol (NPCar) and evaluated their anti‐leishmanial activity. NPCar obtained presented physicochemical characteristics due to its ideal nanometric size and zeta potential, and low polydispersity index.
