leishmaniasis has long been known as a significant public health challenge in many parts of iran. phlebotomus pa­patasi and p. sergent i are the vectors of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis and anthroponotic cutaneous leish­maniasis respectively, and 5 species of sand flies including p. kandelakii , p. neglectus , p. perfiliewi , p. keshishiani and p. alexandri are considered as probable vectors...

background: leishmaniasis is an obligate intercellular protozoon that affects animals and human. it has zoonosis and/or anthroponosis transmission. human and veterinary medicine, environmental science and wildlife conservation special­ists have many commonalities in case of visceral leishmaniasis. still the above disciplines respond against leishmaniasis in a separate way.   the aim of this re­...

BACKGROUND Leishmaniasis is an obligate intercellular protozoon that affects animals and human. It has zoonosis and/or anthroponosis transmission. Human and veterinary medicine, environmental science and wildlife conservation specialists have many commonalities in case of visceral leishmaniasis. Still the above disciplines respond against leishmaniasis in a separate way. The aim of this review ...

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...

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...

Phlebotomines are of medical and veterinary concern as they vector leishmaniasis, bartonellosis and some arboviruses. The adaptations of some species to places modified by humans bring these vectors into contact with dwellings, which can facilitate disease transmission, and the vector control strategies adopted have rendered controversial results. Regarding leishmaniasis, for instance, which ve...

In the Americas there are between 4,500 and 6,800 annual cases of severe visceral leishmaniasis, and mortality is estimated to range between 7 and 10%. However, underreporting and subclinical infections mask the real epidemiological importance of visceral leishmaniasis. Control efforts, which have typically focused on insecticide spraying of sand fly vectors and dog culling, have yielded dispar...

Objective: Leishmaniasis is endemic in 88 countries with incidence rate of 1.5-2 million; the most common form of leishmaniasis is cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) with 1.5 million new cases per year. Correct diagnosis and characterization of the particular parasite is important for evaluating prognosis and prescribing appropriate treatment. The current management of leishmaniasis is drug treatment...

background: zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl) is a neglected disease with public health importance that is common in many rural areas of iran. in recent years, behavioral resistance and/or bait shyness against the common rodenticide among reservoir hosts of zcl have been reported. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of klerat® and zinc phosphide against natural reservoi...
