Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.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
Immunology, Volume 178, Issue 3, Page 377-386, July 2026.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 ...

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-

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.Abstract Introduction Sponges historically dominated the heterotrophic biomass of Florida Bay's hard‐bottom habitat, providing crucial ecosystem services including shelter for soniferous shrimp that contribute to the marine soundscape. The loss of the sponge communities has inspired restoration efforts using in‐water nurseries for vegetative ...

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.

Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.
