Abstract Leishmaniasis is a protozoal infection transmitted by sandfly vector; there are three main types of leishmaniasis: cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), mucocutaneous (MCL), and visceral (VL). Herein, we present case endonasal in 34-year-old Yemeni patient who presented with disfiguring nasal swelling associated fever, swab from the lesion direct microscopic examination proved to have leishman...

Leishmaniasis is a Neglected Tropical Diseases caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania. It major health problem in many tropical and subtropical regions world can produce three different clinical manifestations, among which cutaneous leishmaniasis has higher incidence than other forms. There are no recognized reliable means chemoprophylaxis or vaccination against infections with f...

Leishmaniasis transmitted by sandflies is an important vector-borne disease. In Chad, information on outdated, and so this study was designed to update the sandfly fauna. Sandflies were collected in five health districts representing two geoclimatic zones using sticky traps pyrethrum sprays indoor peridomestic habitats between September 2019 December 2020. All specimens identified based species...

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...

Leishmaniasis is a wide-spectrum disease caused by parasites from Leishmania genus. A well-modulated immune response that established after the long-lasting clinical cure of leishmaniasis can represent standard requirement for vaccine. Previous studies demonstrated (Viannia) naiffi causes benign and its antigens induce responses in vitro. In this work we aimed to identify immunodominant protein...

Diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis is a rare form of characterized by an inadequate immune response the host cells to parasitic invasion (weak T-helper (Th)1 or Th2 with production interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-10). The characteristic features disease include diffuse nodular eruption, masquerading as leprosy frequent association immunosuppression (HIV co-infection, for example). Russian Federation non...

ABSTRACT: Visceral leishmaniasis is the most severe form of a human and animal disease complex entitled leishmaniasis, which endemic to 70 countries. It imperative develop offer technologies capable increasing resolution ability control programs this zoonosis. In search for technological innovations in health, especially environmental surveillance, objective mobile application (App) smartphones...

BACKGROUND Disseminated leishmaniasis is an emerging infectious disease, mostly due to L. braziliensis, which has clinical and histopathological features distinct from cutaneous leishmaniasis. METHODS In the current study we evaluated the in vitro production of the cytokines IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IL-5 and IL-10 by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 15 disseminated leishmaniasis an...

Canine visceral leishmaniasis has been denoted as neglected despite being a very well-known disease. Trace element alteration recognized in humans with and cutaneous leishmaniasis, together canine leishmaniasis. The trace elements occupy vital position the immunological system, host immune responses mitigate defense against We aimed to select total of 45 dogs several breeds; those at age 11 mon...

Leishmaniasis - human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection can manifest itself as tegumentary or visceral leishmaniasis. Almost 35 countries have reported autochthonous coinfections. Visceral leishmaniasis is more frequently described. However, usual and unusual manifestations of tegumentary leishmaniasis have been reported mainly in the Americas, but the real prevalence of Leishmania infec...
