Unravelling the biochemical aspects of the interaction between ticks and Leishmania using a tick cell line

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 350-359, June 2026.
Leishmania infantum propagated in IDE8 tick cell line in vitro. L. infantum reduces tick cell viability and induces reactive oxygen species production. Lipidic profile of IDE8 tick cell line is altered during Leishmania infection. Abstract Leishmaniasis comprises a group of vector‐borne neglected tropical diseases caused by species of the obligatory ...

Distribution of putative male sex pheromones among Lutzomyia sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae).

, 2002
Male Lutzomyia longipalpis produce terpene sex pheromones in glandular tissue underlying the cuticle. The pheromones are transmitted to the surface via cuticle-lined ducts (measuring 0.25 microm in diameter), each of which reaches the surface in the ...

Phlebotomine sand flies in the State of Piauí, Brazil (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae)

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001
In 1997, 1998 and 1999 we performed several captures in the State of Piauí, in the counties of Barro Duro, Campo Maior, Castelo, Floriano, Picos, São Raimundo Nonato and Teresina. We used CDC light traps inside houses, in a primary forest and in one cave.

Development of Lutzomyia intermedia and Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) larvae in different diets [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2001
The objective of this research was to evaluate, in laboratory, the development of Lutzomyia intermedia and Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) larvae, vectors of leishmaniasis in Brazil, in the following diets: industrialized food for rabbits, dogs, hamsters and aquarium fishes, besides liver powder, cooked lettuce, wheat germ ...

An Unusual Presentation of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in a Patient with Substance Use: A Diagnostic and Management Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In patients with atypical ulcers and travel history to endemic areas, a comprehensive diagnostic workup for cutaneous leishmaniasis is imperative. This case confirms Leishmania tropica through combined microscopy, culture, and PCR, leading to successful treatment with systemic glucantime and adjunctive wound care.

Peptides as a Therapeutic Alternative Against Leishmaniasis: A Scoping Review

Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
This scoping review of 79 studies identified 231 antimicrobial peptides with anti‐Leishmania activity, including natural‐derived and synthetic peptides (inspired by natural sources or developed through rational design). Most were evaluated in vitro against promastigote and/or amastigote forms, with synthetic peptides showing a more promising effect ...
