Assessment of Leishmania exposure in blood donors from a non‐endemic urban area: A study in São Paulo

Vox Sanguinis, Volume 121, Issue 2, Page 160-168, February 2026.
Abstract Background and Objectives According to the World Health Organization, more than 1 billion people are at risk of leishmaniasis in over 89 countries. Environmental changes such as deforestation, urban expansion and climate change facilitate the spread of sand fly vectors and reservoirs, increasing disease transmission.

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).
