There is no gold standard for diagnosing leishmaniases. Our aim was to assess the operative validity of tests used in detecting Leishmania infection using samples from experimental infections, a reliable equivalent to the classic definition of gold standard. Without statistical differences, the highest ...
Leishmania infection:Aparasiticdisease, also called leishmaniasis, spread by the bite of sand flies infected with aprotozoa(Leishmania). There are several forms of leishmaniasis, the most common beingcutaneousandvisceralleishmaniasis. The cutaneous form of the disease causes skin sores while the viscer...

Leishmaniainfection correlates with lower number of AIF1+macrophages in the spleen. C57BL/6 mice (n = 9) were intravenous injected with 106Leishmania donovanipromastigotes. Control mice (n = 9) received PBS. 7 days after injection, spleen was collected from respective groups, each diss...
We used the words “(Leishmania AND lagomorph AND Spain)”, and then we selected epidemiological studies on L. infantum infection in wild lagomorphs in Spain. 2.4. Statistical Analysis Differences in antibody prevalence between species, geographic locations (provinces within NE Spain), and sex of...
This study carried out an epidemiological survey of seroprevalence of positive immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT) results for Leishmania infantum in horses living in Tuscany, where the disease in the dog is endemic and no cases of equine leishmaniasis were observed. Inclusion criteria were (1)...
Infection by Leishmania takes place in the context of inflammation and tissue repair. Besides tissue resident macrophages, inflammatory macrophages and neutrophils are recruited to the infection site and serve both as host cells and as effectors against infection. Recent studies suggest additional important...

Immune elimination of Leishmania major in mice: implications for immune memory, vaccination, and reactivation disease. Infection of susceptible BALB/c mice with a large, moderate, or low number of Leishmania major parasites respectively results in progressive disease, the f... JE Uzonna,GJ Wei,D...
