The Leishmania phosphatase PTP1, and possibly the genetically similar PTP2, interacts with the Leishmania transmembrane protein DUF21. When both ptp1 and ptp2 are knocked out of Leishmania (LdΔPTP1/2), the parasite can no longer survive without magnesium in vitro and has reduced viability in the host macrophage. Conversely, in duf21 knockout (LdΔDUF21),

Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology
Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model

Background Visceral leishmaniasis (VL or kala azar) is the most serious form of human leishmaniasis, responsible for over 20,000 deaths annually, and post kala azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) is a stigmatizing skin condition that often occurs in ...

Domestic dog ownership in Iran is a risk factor for human infection with Leishmania infantum. [PDF]
One explanation proposed for the widespread failure to control zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis by culling infected domestic dogs is that wild canids or humans play significant roles in transmission.

Treatment of Visceral Leishmaniasis
Sir .—Mahieu and Van Acker 1 reported a case of visceral leishmaniasis (kalaazar) in the November 1991 issue of AJDC . Several case reports were included in the references, but only a few were from Mediterranean countries in which the disease is more prevalent, as mentioned by the authors. I would like to bring our experience with this disease into the

Abstract Kinetoplastid parasites include several species. Trypanosoma brucei causes African sleeping sickness in humans and a wasting disease nagana in livestock. Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease and Leishmania species cause leishmaniasis, which can present with visceral, cutaneous, or mucocutaneous symptoms.

Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by protozoan parasite of genus Leishmania which is transmitted through bites ofinfected sand flies. It has been reported that Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is more sensitive and specific test for the diagnosis ofvisceral leishmaniasis than bone marrow examination. This recent study is a renewed effort to validate the

Incidence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in two Guatemalan communities.
The prevalence of human infection by Trypanosoma cruzi was assessed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in a serological survey in 1998 of 2 rural communities (SMH and PS) in Guatemala.
