Leishmaniasis is a zoonotic parasitic disease that affects both humans and animals. Canines are considered the main reservoirs of disease, while cats can present as secondary reservoirs, altering epidemiological cycle disease. The work describes first case feline foot hyperkeratosis in Asunción-Paraguay associated with leishmaniasis, determined by cytological diagnosis, favorable response to tr...

BACKGROUND Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) are important public health problems in Iran. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic potential of Western blot (WB) compared with indirect immunofluorescence test (IFAT) to serodiagnosis of leishmaniasis. METHODS This study was performed from 2010-2014 and participants were different parts of Iran. Serum samples were obtaine...

Background: Visceral leishmaniasis (Kala-azar, VL) is a vector-borne illness that affects people all over the world. Indoor Residual Spray (IRS) has been recognised as tool for eliminating illness. In context of Kala-azar elimination, it critical to address evidence-based studies on IRS success and failure. Methodology: For literature search, Internet was used. The following websites were visit...

Leishmaniases, caused by the intracellular protozoan Leishmania infantum, are an endemic zoonosis in the Mediterranean basin. Dogs are considered the major host for these parasites, and the main reservoir for human visceral infection. Parasites are transmitted by the bite of phlebotomine sand flies, being Phlebotomus perniciosus and P. ariasi the proven vectors in Portugal. The global climate c...

Sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) serve as vectors for transmitting protozoan parasites, Leishmania spp., that cause the disease called leishmaniasis. The main approach to controlling sand is use of chemical insecticides. discovery alternative methods their control needed because potential health risks insecticides and development fly resistance these pesticides. biomineral produced by diatoms ...
