Dicentrine, an Aporphine Alkaloid From Ocotea langsdorffii, Induces Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Oxidative Stress in Leishmania (L.) infantum

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
Dicentrine, an aporphine alkaloid, exhibits potent in vitro antileishmanial activity against Leishmania species with high selectivity and low macrophage cytotoxicity. Mechanistic studies reveal that the compound triggers parasite death possibly by inducing mitochondrial membrane disruption and oxidative stress.

Epidemiology of visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]

Clinical Epidemiology, 2014
Leishmania species are the causative agents of leishmaniasis, a neglected tropical disease. These parasitic protozoans are usually transmitted between vertebrate hosts by the bite of blood sucking female phlebotomine sand flies. This review focuses on the two parasites causing most human visceral leishmaniasis (VL), which leads to substantial health ...

Effect of insecticide-impregnated dog collars on incidence of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis in Iranian children: a matched-cluster randomised trial.

, 2002
BACKGROUND: Deltamethrin-impregnated dog collars reduce sandfly bite rates on dogs, and are effective in killing sandflies that attempt to feed. Because domestic dogs are the principal reservoir hosts of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis, we tested whether

Murine T Cell‐Dependent Response Affects Leishmania amazonensis Amastigote Survival and Virulence

Cell Biology International, Volume 50, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Our group has previously described the infection course of Leishmania amazonensis in BALB/c and BALB/cnu/nu mice, which have distinct T‐cell dependent responses. In this study, lesion‐derived amastigotes exhibited differential protein expression in a host‐dependent manner.

Diagnostic Challenge of Pediatric Gaucher Disease in a Low‐Resource South Asian Setting: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Gaucher disease is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder that is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme “β‐glucocerebrosidase”, leading to the accumulation of glucocerebroside within macrophages. It commonly presents with hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenias, and bone marrow infiltration.
