Agrarian counterpoint

American Ethnologist, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 171-182, May 2026.
Abstract In Colombia's northeastern borderlands, agrarian economies shape how disease risk and stigma are understood and managed. As shown in ethnographic fieldwork in and around the Catatumbo region, cutaneous leishmaniasis—a sandfly‐transmitted disease that produces chronic skin lesions—appears in two radically different guises across adjacent ...

Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of DNDI‐6148, a novel agent for leishmaniasis: A randomized, controlled, single ascending dose study in healthy participants

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 4, Page 1087-1097, April 2026.
Aim The benzoxaborole derivative DNDI‐6148 is an antiparasitic agent with activity against multiple Leishmania protozoan species, including L. infantum and L. donovani, which cause visceral leishmaniasis. We investigated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single oral doses of DNDI‐6148 in a randomized, parallel‐group, placebo‐controlled ...

Brain Involvement in Leishmaniasis

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by infection with the protozoan parasite Leishmania and it is a significant global health problem. The disease has a wide clinical spectrum, from tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) that encompasses cutaneous (CL), mucosal (ML) and cutaneous‐diffuse (CDL) forms, to the potentially fatal systemic ...

Visceral Leishmaniasis in Somalia: Diagnosis and Management of a Classic Case in a Resource‐Limited Endemic Setting

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL), a severe systemic neglected tropical disease (NTD) caused by Leishmania donovani complex protozoa, poses a significant public health threat, particularly in East Africa, where it is fatal if untreated. Somalia is known to be endemic, but the true burden and programmatic challenges are poorly documented due to long ...

The phlebotomine sand flies fauna in Parque Estadual do Rio Doce, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Phlebotomine sand flies are dipterans of the family Psychodidae. They are very important to veterinary medicine because some species are vectors of infective forms of Leishmania spp., the etiological agents of leishmaniasis.

The Regulatory Effect of Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) 1 and 2 on iNOS, IL‐6, TNF‐α and IL‐10 Expression in Canine Macrophages Infected With Leishmania infantum

Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis is caused by Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum. Dogs are considered the most critical urban reservoirs of L. (L.) infantum due to their high infection rate and direct transmission to humans. The parasite has developed mechanisms to evade the host's defence system by inhibiting macrophage activation, thereby ...

Description of a new species, Pintomyia dissimilis nov. sp., a phlebotomine fossil from Dominican Republic amber (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae)

Parasites & Vectors, 2009
Background Phlebotomine sandflies are the vectors of etiological agents of leishmaniases in several areas of the world. In the Neotropical Region, the biodiversity of these insects is more than other regions, probably due the long evolutionary period of ...
