This study investigated the epidemiology, risk factors and spatial distribution of cutaneous leishmaniasis in District Bajaur, Pakistan. Higher prevalence was observed among young males during summer, with lesions mainly on exposed body parts. Spatial analysis identified Khar, Loe Mamund and Salarzai as hotspots, highlighting the need for targeted ...

Thymus and Leishmania at the Crossroads: Autoimmunity and Cancer
Conceptual ‘Crossroads Model’ linking Leishmania, thymic infection and immune dysregulation: an integrative model is proposed in which Leishmania infection disrupts thymic architecture and stromal–thymocyte interactions. These alterations converge to promote defective tolerance, increased autoimmune risk and a microenvironment permissive to malignant ...

A novel phlebovirus in Albanian sandflies [PDF]
Sandflies were collected in two districts of Albania and tested for a probable phlebovirus infection. A novel phlebovirus, provisionally named Adria virus, was detected in 2/12 pools, both trapped in a region close to the Adriatic Sea. The new virus is genetically closer (similarity 77.1% at nucleotide level) to Arbia virus, which belongs to the ...
