Leishmaniasis are neglected parasitic diseases. These endemic diseases from tropical and subtropical areas have as main prophylactic measures treatment of human patients and the use of insecticides. There are no vaccines for use in humans and drugs exhibited side effects and resistance. There is a great clinical diversity attributed to host factors and parasite inter- and intra-specific v…
Leishmaniasis is a group of neglected and endemic diseases that occur in tropical and subtropical countries. Leishmania protozoan parasite infect mononuclear phagocytes; and pathological manifestations are cutaneous and mucosal lesions and visceral disease in humans. Different methods are used for diagnosis, but none with high sensitivity and specificity, there is no vaccine for large-sca…
Leishmaniasis is an endemic parasitosis, there is no vaccine for commercial use, there are reports of failures and resistance and side effects of therapeutic compounds, and is limited knowledge of host and parasite factors that influence pathogenesis. This project is divided into three subprojects: 1) homeostatic changes associated with HSP70 over expression in L. amazonensis. The chapero…

Leishmaniasis are neglected diseases that cause several clinical forms.It is an endemic disease of South America and there are several factors that increaseits endemic potential. Prophylactic measures are relatively effective, but treatment is expensive andinaccessible and there are no prophylactic vaccines, thus controlling the disease is difficult. Based onthese facts it is created the …
Leishmaniasis are a group of diseases caused by protozoa belonging to the genus Leishmania sp., which parasite mainly macrophages. The forms of the disease range from simple cutaneous lesions that heal spontaneously, to the visceral form which, when left untreated, can be fatal. These variations depend on the species of Leishmania sp., the immune status of the host and factors not yet cla…
Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by the protozoan Leishmania; the transmission to the vertebrate host occurs during the blood repast of the phlebotomine vector. Different species of Leishmania may cause the three main clinical manifestations of the disease, which are the cutaneous, mucocutaneous and visceral forms. In Brazil, we have L. braziliensis as the main species involved in the cu…

Visceral leishmaniasis (LV) is a serious parasitic disease caused by infection with Leishmania infantum or Leishmania donovani. LV distributed worldwide and the infection may be silent, have small clinical manifestations, severe or even lethal. Current therapy with antimonials or amphotericin is effective in most cases of VL. However, the disease maintains approximately 7% lethality in Br…
