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

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.

Increasing incidence of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis on Crete, Greece [PDF]

, 2009
To determine whether the incidence of canine leishmaniasis has increased on Crete, Greece, we fitted infection models to serodiagnostic records of 8,848 dog samples for 1990–2006.

Monodentate Phosphine Modulation in Cyclometallated Platinum(II) Complexes for Antileishmanial, Antiviral, and Antitumor Applications

ChemMedChem, EarlyView.
Schematic representation depicting the influence of phosphine ligand identity on the biological and physicochemical characteristics of Pt(II) complexes: PTA promotes antileishmanial activity, PPh2(Php–COOH) strengthens antiviral activity, and TCEP enhances fluorescence.

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.

Leishmania donovani's protein tyrosine phosphatases interact with DUF21 and respond to environmental magnesium

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The Leishmania phosphatase PTP1, and possibly the genetically similar PTP2, interacts with the Leishmania transmembrane protein DUF21. When both ptp1 and ptp2 are knocked out of Leishmania (LdΔPTP1/2), the parasite can no longer survive without magnesium in vitro and has reduced viability in the host macrophage. Conversely, in duf21 knockout (LdΔDUF21),

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

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

Ultrastructural expansion microscopy reveals unexpected levels of glycosome heterogeneity in African trypanosomes

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Kinetoplastid parasites include several species. Trypanosoma brucei causes African sleeping sickness in humans and a wasting disease nagana in livestock. Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease and Leishmania species cause leishmaniasis, which can present with visceral, cutaneous, or mucocutaneous symptoms.

[Visceral leishmaniasis].

Vnitrni lekarstvi, 2013
Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by protozoan parasite of genus Leishmania which is transmitted through bites ofinfected sand flies. It has been reported that Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is more sensitive and specific test for the diagnosis ofvisceral leishmaniasis than bone marrow examination. This recent study is a renewed effort to validate the
