Diagnostic Challenges in Visceral Leishmaniasis in a 17‐Month‐Old Female: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Visceral leishmaniasis is an uncommon infectious disease. In this report, we present a case of VL in a 17‐month‐old child who presented with a fever and splenomegaly. After the patient failed to respond to several courses of antibiotics, a bone marrow aspirate confirmed the definitive diagnosis of VL, which was successfully treated with ...

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.

Prevalence and Sequence Analysis of Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Diseases in Stray Cats in Istanbul

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Istanbul, the largest metropolis in Türkiye, is home to a notable population of stray cats. While cats enrich the city's culture, they can also transmit various diseases, posing diagnostic challenges for clinicians. This study aimed to detect infections in stray cats using PCR and sequencing to identify Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Bartonella, Hepatozoon ...

Spatial Dynamics of a Phlebotomine Sand Flies Population in Response to Climatic Conditions in Bushehr Province of Iran

Annals of Global Health, 2019
Background: Phlebotomine (Ph.) sand flies are the vectors of different types of leishmaniasis and arboviruses to humans. Variations in climate conditions could lead to changes in the dynamics of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL) and its agents, such

Transmission of Leishmania metacyclic promastigotes by phlebotomine sand flies

International Journal for Parasitology, 2007
A thorough understanding of the transmission mechanism of any infectious agent is crucial to implementing an effective intervention strategy. Here, our current understanding of the mechanisms that Leishmania parasites use to ensure their transmission from sand fly vectors by bite is reviewed.

An Update on the Sand Fly (Diptera: Psychodidae) in Khartoum, Sudan: Species Composition and Distribution in Areas Endemic for Cutaneous Leishmaniasis

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.
An update on the composition and distribution of sand fly species in the Nile environments of Khartoum. Variations were observed in species number than in species composition. The study will be a good reference for future studies on sandflies after the change in their habitat due to the current war in Sudan. ABSTRACT Phlebotomine sand flies are vectors
