Leishmaniasis Transmission Risk at the Forest‐Peridomestic Interface in an Area of Southern Sinaloa, Mexico: Entomological, Molecular, and Climatic Evidence

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Leishmaniasis, caused by Leishmania spp. and transmitted by phlebotomine sand flies, affects almost 1,000,000 people annually across more than 90 countries. In Mexico, growing evidence of locally acquired transmission in northwestern states makes ecoepidemiological work increasingly urgent.

Going Mobile: Using Portable Genomic Technologies for PCR‐Free In Situ Species Identification and Real‐Time Molecular Systematics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Here, we document how the implementation of a portable laboratory, in combination with targeted long‐read sequencing through an approach known as nanopore adaptive sampling, can facilitate in situ genomic and systematic analyses across a wide range of animal taxa, including multiple small mammals and blood‐feeding arthropods.

IL‐12 and IFN‐γ in Response to Leishmania Infantum Antigens in Felines From an Endemic Area for Visceral Leishmaniasis

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

Annotated list of the Phlebotominae (Diptera) of Suriname [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1994
Phlebotomine sandflies were collected between 1952 and 1984 at 30 localities in the tropical rainforest and savanna regions of Suriname. Thirty-nine species were identified in the collections (2 Brumptomyia, 37 lutzomyia), including two known vectors of cutaneous leishmaniasis, Lutzomyia flaviscutellata and L. umbratilis.

Fatal Outcome of Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis in a Patient With Hidden Visceral Leishmaniasis

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a systemic parasitic disease with diverse clinical manifestations, primarily affecting the spleen, liver, and bone marrow. While renal involvement in VL is well documented, it is often mild and resolves with effective treatment.

Comparative Performance of Different Traps for Collection of Phlebotominae Sand Flies and Estimation of Biodiversity Indices in Three Endemic Leishmaniasis Foci in North Khorasan Province, Northeast of Iran

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2019
Background: Phlebotominae sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) are the vectors of leishmaniasis. There are different methods for sand fly collection with different performance.
