Leishmaniasis

Lancet, The, 2018
Leishmaniasis is a poverty-related disease with two main clinical forms: visceral leishmaniasis and cutaneous leishmaniasis. An estimated 0·7-1 million new cases of leishmaniasis per year are reported from nearly 100 endemic countries. The number of reported visceral leishmaniasis cases has decreased substantially in the past decade as a result of ...

Leishmaniasis

Dermatologic Clinics, 1989
Leishmaniasis is a parasitic infection caused by many species of the protozoa Leishmania. It occurs in endemic foci scattered throughout Asia, Africa, the Americas, and the Mediterranean countries. The disease is complex and may simulate many skin and systemic diseases. With awareness and suspicion, however, leishmaniasis is relatively easy to diagnose.

Leishmaniasis

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1996
Leishmaniasis is a protozoan disease whose diverse clinical manifestations are dependent both on the infecting species of Leishmania and on the immune response of the host. Transmission of the disease occurs through the bite of a sand fly infected with Leishmania parasites.

Leishmaniasis

Nature Reviews Disease Primers
Leishmaniasis is an endemic disease in Asia, Africa, the Americas and Southern Europe caused by Leishmania parasites and transmitted through the bite of female sandflies, resulting in Leishmania replication in macrophages. The condition manifests either as visceral leishmaniasis, a potentially fatal systemic disease that causes persistent fever ...

Leishmaniasis remains an important neglected tropical infection that affects children more than adults. Geographical variation exists in the distribution of the various Leishmania species. Although the majority of the disease burden is found in poor countries, leishmaniasis is also endemic in several countries within Southern Europe.

The Pharmacology of Leishmaniasis

General Pharmacology: The Vascular System, 1998
The development of new strategies on chemotherapy of parasitic protozoan diseases is one of the most exciting research fields of recent years. World Health Organization (WHO) reports have recognized that the physiology and biochemistry of protozoan parasites and the host-parasite relation are the main targets for the design of new drugs that can be ...

Immunology of leishmaniasis

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1992
Resolution of leishmanial infections requires the expansion of specific type 1 T helper cells that secrete or express on their membrane lymphokines capable of activating macrophages that contain these parasites to a microbicidal state. Specific CD8+ T cells, which are triggered during infection, also appear to play a role in protective immunity ...
