Parasites & Vectors, 2017 The hematophagous habits of insects belonging to the genus Lutzomyia (Diptera: Psychodidae), as well as their role as biological vectors of Leishmania species, make their presence an indication of infection risk.

Parasite Immunology, Volume 47, Issue 8, August 2025.ABSTRACT Visceral leishmaniasis is a potentially fatal zoonosis with an increasing incidence. Most infected felines present the disease in its subclinical form and demonstrate greater resistance to parasitemia than dogs. However, the role of cellular immunity in felines is still poorly understood. This study measured serum levels of interleukin (IL)‐12

Lutzomyia longipalpis Saliva Induces Heme Oxygenase-1 Expression at Bite Sites
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Sand flies bite mammalian hosts to obtain a blood meal, driving changes in the host inflammatory response that support the establishment of Leishmania infection.

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.An update on the composition and distribution of sand fly species in the Nile environments of Khartoum. Variations were observed in species number than in species composition. The study will be a good reference for future studies on sandflies after the change in their habitat due to the current war in Sudan. ABSTRACT Phlebotomine sand flies are vectors

Parasites & Vectors, 2017 BackgroundLipophosphoglycan (LPG) is a dominant surface molecule of Leishmania promastigotes. Its species-specific polymorphisms are found mainly in the sugars that branch off the conserved Gal(β1,4)Man(α1)-PO4 backbone of repeat units.

Leishmaniasis in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A National Multicenter Study of GETECCU
United European Gastroenterology Journal, Volume 13, Issue 5, Page 674-684, June 2025.ABSTRACT Background Leishmaniasis (LI) is a vector‐borne illness caused by a protozoan of the genus Leishmania. Data on the features of LI in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are scarce. Aim To describe the characteristics of patients with IBD who present with leishmaniasis, infection outcomes and the risk factors associated with ...

Species structure of sand fly (Diptera: Psychodidae) fauna in the Brazilian western Amazon
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2009 We surveyed areas of the state of Rondônia in western Amazon for phlebotomine, which are potential vectors of leishmaniasis. A total of 5,998 specimens were captured, resulting in the identification of 48 species within the Lutzomyia (99.98%) and ...

PLoS ONE, 2015 Vector borne diseases are susceptible to climate change because distributions and densities of many vectors are climate driven. The Amazon region is endemic for cutaneous leishmaniasis and is predicted to be severely impacted by climate change.

Neuroimmune Pain and Its Manipulation by Pathogens
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 4, April 2025.ABSTRACT Recent studies highlight extensive crosstalk that exists between sensory neurons responsible for pain and the immune system. Cutaneous pain neurons detect harmful microbes, recruit immune cells, and produce anticipatory immunity in nearby tissues. These complementary systems generally protect hosts from infections.
