A dataset of sandfly (Phlebotomus papatasi, Phlebotomus alexandri, and Phlebotomus sergenti) genital and pharyngeal images

Data in Brief
Sandflies serve as carriers for numerous tropical diseases, including leishmaniasis, bartonellosis, and sandfly fever. Furthermore, sandflies are species-specific when it comes to transmitting corresponding pathogen species. Hence, accurate classification and identification of sandfly species and gender are essential for various purposes such as ...

Therapeutic Effect of Barberry (Berberis vulgaris) Root Extract on Experimental Cutaneous Leishmaniosis in a BALB/c Mouse Model

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Barberry (Berberis vulgaris) root extract shows potential in treating cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania major. In a BALB/c mouse model, treatment significantly reduced wound size and parasite load while enhancing inflammatory markers IL‐1 and IL‐6. These results highlight barberry's therapeutic promise against leishmaniasis.

Relationship Between Hepcidin, Iron Metabolism, Inflammation and Hypersplenism in Anaemia of Kala‐Azar

Parasite Immunology, Volume 47, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Kala‐azar, or visceral leishmaniasis (VL), is a parasitic disease caused by Leishmania spp., characterised by fever, weight loss, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, and anaemia. This study evaluated the relationship between hepcidin, inflammation, iron metabolism, and hypersplenism in VL‐associated anaemia. In this cross‐sectional study, confirmed VL

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
