A policy for leishmaniasis with respect to the prevention and control of drug resistance. [PDF]

, 2001
At the moment no country has a policy designed to control or prevent drug resistance in leishmaniasis. The risk of resistance is high in areas of anthroponotic visceral leishmaniasis, for example North Bihar, India, where the rate in some areas is 60 ...

Topical insecticides control Leishmania reservoir dogs [PDF]

, 2002
Canids and domestic dogs are reservoir hosts of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis (ZVL) caused by Leishmania infantum. Hence, one of the approaches to reduce the incidence of human ZVL is to cull infected dogs (e.g >850 000 dogs are screened per year with ...

Natural Infection by Toscana Virus and Other Phleboviruses in Wild Sand Flies From Spain: Prevalence, Genetic Characterization and Tripartite Interactions With Leishmania infantum and Wolbachia

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Toscana virus (TOSV) and Leishmania species are sand fly‐borne pathogens that pose a significant public health threat and an increasing risk of exposure in Europe. The objective of this study was to identify the phleboviruses circulating in an area endemic for sand fly‐borne pathogens and to estimate infection prevalence in wild ...

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.

Precursor‐targeted immune‐mediated anaemia in a dog with concurrent haemoparasite seroreactivity: Diagnostic challenges and therapeutic response

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, November 2026.
Summary Precursor‐targeted immune‐mediated anaemia (PIMA) is an increasingly recognised cause of nonregenerative anaemia in dogs and may be difficult to distinguish from infectious or other immune‐mediated conditions. This report describes a dog presenting severe nonregenerative anaemia, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, initially testing seroreactive ...

Structural Insights Into the Function of Leishmania major Adenylosuccinate Lyase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 10, Page 1686-1701, October 2026.
ABSTRACT One of several intriguing aspects of kinetoplastid biochemistry is the complete dependence on host purines and purine recycling due to the lack of a de novo purine biosynthesis pathway. Adenylosuccinate lyase (ASL, EC 4.3.2.2) is a key enzyme in the purine synthesis pathway responsible for the conversion of adenylosuccinate into adenosine ...

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

The use of K39 test in the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]

, 2007
From time to time patients admitted with fever of unknown origin prove to be a diagnostic dilemma. While textbooks describe typical symptoms and signs, and also diagnostic tests, these are not always helpful.

Advances in leishmaniasis.

, 2005
Governed by parasite and host factors and immunoinflammatory responses, the clinical spectrum of leishmaniasis encompasses subclinical (inapparent), localised (skin lesions), and disseminated infection (cutaneous, mucosal, or visceral).

Risk factors of visceral leishmaniasis in East Africa: a case-control study in Pokot territory of Kenya and Uganda [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: In East Africa, visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is endemic in parts of Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya and Uganda. It is caused by Leishmania donovani and transmitted by the sandfly vector Phlebotomus martini.
