Visceral Leishmaniasis in West Africa: Clinical Characteristics, Vectors, and Reservoirs

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is the most serious form of human leishmaniasis. VL is understudied in West Africa. The increasing number of patients at‐risk, including persons living with HIV and other chronic immunosuppressive diseases, and likely underreporting of VL related to diagnostic challenges advocate for review of existing data to understand VL ...

Effects of a zoonotic pathogen, Borrelia burgdorferi, on the behavior of a key reservoir host

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 4074-4083, April 2018., 2018
Vaccination of field populations of white‐footed mice, which reduced titers of the Lyme disease bacterium in individual mice, reduced tick burdens by 20% compared to sham‐vaccinated mice, apparently by facilitating increased grooming behavior. This and other behavioral alterations of mice with experimentally reduced pathogen loads might affect the ...

Developments in Diagnosis of Visceral Leishmaniasis in the Elimination Era

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is the most devastating parasitic infection worldwide causing high morbidity and mortality. Clinical presentation of VL ranges from asymptomatic or subclinical infection to severe and complicated symptomatic disease. A major challenge in the clinical management of VL is the weakness of health systems in disease endemic ...
