Unravelling the biochemical aspects of the interaction between ticks and Leishmania using a tick cell line

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 350-359, June 2026.
Leishmania infantum propagated in IDE8 tick cell line in vitro. L. infantum reduces tick cell viability and induces reactive oxygen species production. Lipidic profile of IDE8 tick cell line is altered during Leishmania infection. Abstract Leishmaniasis comprises a group of vector‐borne neglected tropical diseases caused by species of the obligatory ...

Detection and identification of Leishmania species within naturally infected sand flies in the Andean areas of Ecuador by a polymerase chain reaction [PDF]

, 2005
The surveillance of prevalent Leishmania and sand fly species in endemic areas is important for prediction of the risk and expansion of leishmaniasis. In this study, we developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method for detection of Leishmania ...

An Unusual Presentation of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in a Patient with Substance Use: A Diagnostic and Management Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In patients with atypical ulcers and travel history to endemic areas, a comprehensive diagnostic workup for cutaneous leishmaniasis is imperative. This case confirms Leishmania tropica through combined microscopy, culture, and PCR, leading to successful treatment with systemic glucantime and adjunctive wound care.

Phlebotomine sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae) of Ethiopia

Heliyon, 2023
Phlebotomine sandflies have a long history of association with humans, which makes them the only proven natural vectors of Leishmania species, the parasitic protozoans that cause leishmaniases in humans and animals.

Leishmania Extracellular Vesicles as a Preventive Vaccine Platform Against Leishmaniasis

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2026.
The potential of Leishmania‐derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a vaccine platform was investigated, emphasizing an affordable, GMP‐compliant production and purification method. Immunization with EV vaccines, either unadjuvanted or combined with α‐galactosylceramide (αGC), induced robust humoral and cellular immune responses, conferring protection ...
