Utility of Lymph Node Aspiration in the Diagnosis of Visceral Leishmaniasis in Sudan. [PDF]

, 2007
We evaluated lymph node aspiration (LNA) as a simple diagnostic procedure for visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Lymph node aspiration was compared with the direct agglutination test (DAT) using a diagnostic titer > or = 1:6,400 in 7,880 suspected VL patients ...

Visceral leishmaniasis patients display altered composition and maturity of neutrophils as well as impaired neutrophil effector functions [PDF]

, 2016
Immunologically, active visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is characterised by profound immunosuppression, severe systemic inflammatory responses and an impaired capacity to control parasite replication.

Evolutionary genomics of epidemic visceral leishmaniasis in the Indian subcontinent

eLife, 2016
Leishmania donovani causes visceral leishmaniasis (VL), the second most deadly vector-borne parasitic disease. A recent epidemic in the Indian subcontinent (ISC) caused up to 80% of global VL and over 30,000 deaths per year. Resistance against antimonial

Therapeutic Options for Visceral Leishmaniasis [PDF]

Drugs, 2013
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), also known as Kala-Azar, is a disseminated protozoal infection caused principally by Leishmania donovani and Leishmania infantum (known as Leishmania chagasi in South America). The therapeutic options for VL are diverse and depend on different factors, such as the geographical area of the infection, development of ...

Rapid Detection of Leishmania infantum Infection in Dogs: Comparative Study Using an Immunochromatographic Dipstick Test, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay, and PCR [PDF]

, 2002
Current zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis (ZVL) control programs in Brazil include the culling of Leishmania infantum-infected reservoir dogs, a strategy that has failed to prevent a rise of canine and human ZVL cases over the past decade.

Comparative genomics of canine-isolated Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis from an endemic focus of visceral leishmaniasis in Governador Valadares, southeastern Brazil

Scientific Reports, 2017
Leishmaniasis is a highly diverse group of diseases caused by kinetoplastid of the genus Leishmania. These parasites are taxonomically diverse, with human pathogenic species separated into two subgenera according to their development site inside the ...

Co‐endemicity of schistosomiasis and tegumentary leishmaniasis: Spatial co‐clustering in endemic areas

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 6, Page 556-568, June 2025.
Abstract Objectives Schistosomiasis and tegumentary leishmaniasis simultaneously affect areas in tropical and subtropical regions. Co‐infected individuals show a less‐than‐optimal response to treatment and increased regulatory immune responses. However, no study has determined where Schistosoma–Leishmania co‐infections are more likely to occur ...
