Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease that causes several clinical manifestations. Parasites of the genus Leishmania cause this disease. Spread across five continents, leishmaniasis is a particular public health problem in developing countries. Leishmania infects phagocytic cells such as macrophages...

Leishmaniasis was first identified inthe 1900s. Since then significant progress has been made in diagnosis, treatment and overall management. But, despite all efforts there's still no vaccine. Which is why the WHO considers it a neglected disease of the world—under-funded and under-researched b...
The meaning of LEISHMANIASIS is a parasitic disease chiefly of tropical and subtropical regions that is caused by a flagellate protozoan (genus Leishmania) which is transmitted by sand flies (genus Phlebotomus and Lutzomyia) and infects the macrophages o
range of molecules; (2) how the extracellular vesicles are used as vehicles for cell signaling and the manipulation of the host’s immune system, and (3) how they elicit the pro-inflammatory response that causes disease, which plays a key role in macrophage modulation [108,109,110,111,112...
Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease caused by the protozoan parasite Leishmania. The three common clinical manifestations of the disease are cutaneous leishmaniasis, which is associated with chronic ulcers of the skin; mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, whi

Leishmaniasis causes a range ofdermatologicdiseases, including chronic nonhealing ulcers. Diagnosis ofcutaneous leishmaniasisrequires laboratory confirmation, which usually ...
Visceral leishmaniasis can cause fever, enlarged liver and spleen, anaemia and weight loss. Other forms of the disease includecutaneous leishmaniasis—which causes ulcers and otherskin lesions, often resulting in scars and even disability—and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, which damages the mucous membran...
Leishmaniasis is caused by protozoan parasites, which are transmitted by the bite of infected female phlebotomine sandflies. The disease affects some of the world’s poorest people and is associated with malnutrition, population displacement, poor housing, a weak immune system, and lack of financial...
Many studies point to fibroblasts as already established host cells that are important in latent leishmaniasis and disease epidemiology, as they support Leishmania transformation into amastigotes and even their multiplication. To invade them, Leishmania causes damage to their plasma membrane and exploits ...
