Mechanisms of Immune Evasion, Dissemination, and Persistence in Leishmania amazonensis Infection

Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Leishmania amazonensis is one of the etiological agents of cutaneous leishmaniasis in its localised form. Moreover, this parasite can cause more severe disease conditions, such as diffuse and disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis. The development of more severe clinical manifestations is associated with the parasite's ability to establish a ...

Pathogenic Significance of Trypanosomatids: Progress in Drug Resistance, Control Strategies, and Artificial Intelligence

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Trypanosomatids, including the genera Trypanosoma and Leishmania, are protozoan parasites of significant medical and veterinary relevance. These organisms cause African trypanosomiasis, Chagas disease, and leishmaniasis, which are classified as neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).

Leishmaniasis in Morocco: Epidemiology, Transmission Dynamics, and the Potential of Artificial Intelligence for Disease Management

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Leishmaniases are neglected tropical diseases caused by Leishmania parasites and transmitted by infected phlebotomine sand flies, and they remain a major public health challenge in Morocco. The burden is dominated by cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) and visceral leishmaniasis (VL), mainly associated with Leishmania major, Leishmania tropica, and L ...
