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 ...

Probing 5‐Nitroimidazole‐Triazole Hybrids as Potential Anti‐Kinetoplastid Agents: Synthesis and In Vitro Efficacy

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
A series of 5‐nitroimidazole‐1,2,3‐triazole hybrids was synthesised and evaluated for antitrypanosomatid activity to assess their potential as treatments against leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis. No notable in vitro activity against Leishmania was detected.

Synthesis, Electrochemistry, In Vitro Antiprotozoal Efficacy and Mechanistic Study of Novel ‘Ferrantoin’ and Related Derivatives

Applied Organometallic Chemistry, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
1,2‐Disubstituted ferrocene analogues bearing hydantoin or rhodanine synthons were synthesised and assessed for antitrypanosomatid activity. An antileishmanial early lead, analogue 23, acting through ROS generation and hence oxidative stress, was uncovered.

Interplay Between Infectious Diseases and the Endocrine System: An Overview and Clinical Insights

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
Infectious diseases can disrupt endocrine homeostasis through direct cytopathic injury, autoimmune dysregulation, or pathogen‐derived hormone‐like effects. Viruses and bacteria are the most frequent agents, whereas fungi and parasites contribute less commonly, even remaining clinically relevant, especially in the immunocompromised population.

Effect of village-wide use of long-lasting insecticidal nets on visceral Leishmaniasis vectors in India and Nepal: a cluster randomized trial. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) control in the Indian subcontinent is currently based on case detection and treatment, and on vector control using indoor residual spraying (IRS).
