Detection of Leishmania donovani Status in Dogs (Canis familiaris, Linnaeus, 1758) in the Karamoja Subregion of Uganda

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
To date, the reservoir host for visceral leishmaniasis, a neglected tropical disease caused by Leishmania donovani, is unknown, although studies pointing to dogs, domestic animals, and rodents are emerging. We aimed to investigate whether the dog (Canis familiaris, Linnaeus, 1758) is a potential reservoir for L.

The Impact of Anthropic and Natural Events on Leishmaniasis Burden, Control Measures, and Public Health Importance

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Leishmaniasis is an important neglected disease among infectious diseases, which is highly affected by diverse adverse conditions. Due to the intricate nature of Leishmania, the impact of the disease remains significant. In this review, we aim to assess the role of these factors that influence disease trends and introduce preventive and control ...

Ecological determinants of leishmaniasis vector, Lutzomyia spp.: A scoping review

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 393-406, December 2024.
Lutzomyia spp. survival is impacted by climatic, habitat and geodemographic factors. Lutzomyia spp. have demonstrated a wide range of temperature tolerance, ranging from 11 to 30°C. There is limited research on this topic, posing a significant challenge for future studies. Abstract Leishmania spp. are zoonotic parasites transmitted by phlebotomine sand

Investigation of Viral, Bacterial and Parasitic Zoonotic Diseases in Rodents in Turkey

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 6, November 2024.
Rodents are reservoir hosts for zoonotic pathogens. In this study, the presence of viral lymphocytic choriomeningitis and hantavirus infections, bacterial tularaemia and leptospirosis, and parasitic leishmaniasis and toxoplasmosis were investigated in 498 rodents collected in Erzurum province, Turkey.
