Visceral leishmaniasis-hepatitis B/C coinfections: a rising necessity to triage patients for treatment

Annals of Saudi Medicine, 2014
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a life-threatening infection caused by Leishmania species. In Sudan, VL is caused by L donovani. Most drugs used to treat VL, especially pentavalent antimony compounds (sodium stibogluconate, SSG),

Human leishmaniasis vaccines: Use cases, target population and potential global demand

medRxiv, 2021
The development of vaccines against one or all forms of human leishmaniasis remains hampered by a paucity of investment, at least in part resulting from the lack of well-evidenced and agreed estimates of vaccine demand.

Leishmaniasis in Germany [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
In 2000, a reference center was created to systematically record leishmaniases in Germany. We analyzed 58 cases of leishmaniases imported during a 2-year period. These findings will serve as a baseline for the sandfly vector's anticipated northward move because of global warming and as an advisory for immunocompromised persons traveling to ...
