Dog skin parasite load, TLR-2, IL-10 and TNF-α expression and infectiousness [PDF]

, 2017
Visceral leishmaniosis is a zoonotic disease that is transmitted by Lutzomyia longipalpis sandflies. Dogs are the main peri-urban reservoir of the disease, and progression of canine leishmaniosis is dependent on the type of immune response elaborated ...

Trypanosoma cruzi Mexican Strains Differentially Modulate Surface Markers and Cytokine Production in Bone Marrow‐Derived Dendritic Cells from C57BL/6 and BALB/c Mice

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Dendritic cells (DCs) are a type of antigen‐presenting cells that play an important role in the immune response against Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that the modulation of these cells by this parasite can directly affect the innate and acquired immune response of the host in order to ...

Frequency of the Congenital Transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and is endemic in much of Latin America. With increased globalisation and immigration, it is a risk in any country, partly through congenital transmission. The frequency of congenital

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 ...

Trypanosomatids in dogs belonging to individuals with chronic Chagas’ disease living in Botucatu town and surrounding region, São Paulo State, Brazil

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2005
Among domestic animals, dogs are considered to be the major reservoirs of trypanosomatids and, due to their proximity to man, the presence of these parasites in dogs is an alert to actions aiming at triatomine control. Fifty dogs (26 males and 24 females)

Parasite load in the blood and skin of dogs naturally infected by Leishmania infantum is correlated with their capacity to infect sand fly vectors [PDF]

, 2016
The sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis is primarily responsible for the transmission of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the New World, and dogs are considered to be the main urban reservoir of this disease. In order to improve the efficacy of control measures,

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 ...

The Search for an Efficient Black Fly Trap for Xenomonitoring of Onchocerciasis

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Onchocerciasis is a neglected tropical disease that has plagued mankind for decades with pathologies that involve the eyes and the skin. The WHO and the global health community have earmarked the disease for global elimination by 2045. However, as control programmes shift focus from reduction of the burden of the disease to elimination, new tools and ...

The skin is a significant but overlooked anatomical reservoir for vector-borne African trypanosomes [PDF]

, 2016
International audienceThe role of mammalian skin in harbouring and transmitting arthropod-borne protozoan parasites has been overlooked for decades as these pathogens have been regarded primarily as blood-dwelling organisms. Intriguingly, infections with
