regions that are ill-equipped to manage imported cu-taneous leishmaniasis has resulted in outbreaks in Turkey and Lebanon (5,6). Our findings emphasize the importance of contempo-raneous disease tracking to identify human populations at highest disease risk. To ameliorate the current cutaneous leishmaniasis crisis, particularly during the winter when cases start to appear, accurate disease moni...

background: canine visceral leishmaniasis (cvl) is not only an emerging veterinary concern but also a public health threat in endemic areas. the aim of this study was to assess the efficacy, immunogenicity and safety of two doses of aluminum hydroxide (alum) precipitated leishmania major (alum-alm) mixed with bcg plus imiquimod against cvl. methods: a total of 560 ownership dogs were serologica...

To the Editor: In Afghanistan, most cutaneous leishmaniasis cases are caused by Leishmania tropica, which is transmitted anthroponotical-ly by the sandfly Phlebotomus sergen-ti (1). Cutaneous leishmaniasis can have devastating effects on local communities because of its clinical symptoms , i.e., large, multiple, or both, disfiguring lesions, that can lead to social ostracism of affected persons...

BACKGROUND Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) or kala-azar is considered as a parasitic disease caused by the species of Leishmania donovani complex which is intracellular parasites. This systemic disease is endemic in some parts of provinc-es of Iran. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of VL in Qom Province, central Iran using di-rect agglutination test (DAT). METHODS Overall...

Twenty five blood samples from 6-month to 5-year old children with visceral leishmaniasis were analysed for various enzymes. Aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LD) and its various isoenzymes were estimated in the serum, while glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) was measured in red blood cells. For comparison, blood samples from healthy chi...
