Acute liver failure due to visceral leishmaniasis in Barcelona: a case report

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background Leishmaniasis is an emerging infectious disease. Due to human migration and tourism, visceral leishmaniasis may become more common in non-endemic areas. In the Mediterranean basin, visceral leishmaniasis typically occurs in rural regions. Case

Treatment of Visceral Leishmaniasis

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1992
Sir .—Mahieu and Van Acker 1 reported a case of visceral leishmaniasis (kalaazar) in the November 1991 issue of AJDC . Several case reports were included in the references, but only a few were from Mediterranean countries in which the disease is more prevalent, as mentioned by the authors. I would like to bring our experience with this disease into the

Para-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis in a patient in Brazil: a case report

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
Visceral leishmaniasis is common in Brazil and is caused by Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum/chagasi. Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis frequently follows visceral leishmaniasis caused by L.

Congenital Visceral Leishmaniasis

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
To the Editor: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is usually transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies. Nonvector transmission occasionally occurs through blood transfusions, contaminated needles of drug users, organ transplants, or laboratory infection (1). Only a few cases of congenital transmission have been reported.

TLR4 and TLR9 polymorphism: Probable role in susceptibility among the population of Bihar for Indian visceral leishmaniasis

Innate Immunity, 2021
Genetic variations in the host TLRs genes play an important role in susceptibility and/or resistance to visceral leishmaniasis by altering the host-pathogen interaction.

Oxidative Stress Modulation and Antileishmanial Activity of Salvinia auriculata

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
Ethanolic extract of Salvinia auriculata showed significant antioxidant and antileishmanial activities. Salviniside II, the major metabolite, was isolated, structurally characterized, and evaluated, but exhibited weaker antiparasitic effects when compared to the whole extract.

Key Regulators of Parasite Biology Viewed Through a Post‐Translational Modification Repertoire

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Parasites are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens worldwide. Controlling parasitic diseases has become one of the key issues in achieving “One Health”. Most parasites have sophisticated life cycles exhibiting progressive developmental stages, morphologies, and ...

Integrative proteomic analysis provides novel therapeutic insights for etiological subtypes of diabetes

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a highly heterogeneous disease characterised by subtypes with variations in aetiology, disease progression, and risk of complications. However, potential drug targets for these subtypes have not been explored. This study aims to investigate potential drug targets by integrating proteomics.

Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model
