Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 314-325, June 2026.ABSTRACT Introduction Canine Leishmaniasis is a vector‐borne zoonotic disease caused by several species of protozoa of the genus Leishmania. In the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Leishmania braziliensis is the most prevalent species causing tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) and Leishmania infantum is the main causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL).

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 348-357, June 2026.ABSTRACT Introduction Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), once considered a rural disease in Brazil, has progressively urbanised, particularly in the state of São Paulo (SSP), where the first urban cases emerged after the detection of the vector Lutzomyia longipalpis in 1997.

Molecular evolution of the cacophony IVS6 region in sandflies [PDF]
, 2002 A number of insects produce acoustic signals during courtship. Genes involved in the control of the courtship song are particularly interesting from an evolutionary viewpoint because interspecific variation in this signal is potentially important as a ...

Kazal-type serine proteinase inhibitors in the midgut of Phlebotomus papatasi
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013 Sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae) are important disease vectors of parasites of the genus Leishmania, as well as bacteria and viruses. Following studies of the midgut transcriptome of Phlebotomus papatasi, the principal vector of Leishmania major, two non-

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.

Structural basis of secreted acid phosphatase polymerization in the Leishmania parasite
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Enzymes that assemble into filaments typically transition between protomeric and polymeric states in response to cellular conditions. In contrast, the secreted acid phosphatase (SAP) of Leishmania, one of the most abundant extracellular glycoproteins produced by the parasite and regarded as a major virulence factor in the neglected tropical ...

The effects of host-vector relationships and density dependence on the epidemiology of visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]
In Latin America, visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is caused by infection with Leishmania infantum, an endemic but lethal parasite transmitted by Lutzomyia longipalpis sandflies.

American Ethnologist, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 171-182, May 2026.Abstract In Colombia's northeastern borderlands, agrarian economies shape how disease risk and stigma are understood and managed. As shown in ethnographic fieldwork in and around the Catatumbo region, cutaneous leishmaniasis—a sandfly‐transmitted disease that produces chronic skin lesions—appears in two radically different guises across adjacent ...
