Leishmaniasis are infectious diseases caused by protozoal belonging to the Leishmania genus. Different species are pathogenic, and cause distinct clinical forms in humans, some of them are considered severe forms, such as visceral and anergic diffuse leishmaniasis. Pentavalent antimonials and amphotericin B are the main drugs employed in the therapy, however, are outdated, the injection i…
Leishmaniasis are diseases caused by parasitic protozoal of Leishmania genus. There are different species able to infect humans and they induce distinct clinical forms, and surprisingly the therapy is based on two drugs that induce serious side effects in patients. Therefore, it is necessary and urgent searching for new candidates to the therapy. Thus, the aim of this project is to charac…

Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a neglected tropical disease caused by pigmented fungal species. After a traumatic inoculation into the skin, a local inflammatory response will occur with the participation of a series of elements of innate immunity, such as phagocytic cells. After phagocytosis, dematiaceous fungi differentiate into pigmented muriform cells, which are highly resistant to the …
Leishmaniasis is a non-contagious infectious disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania that affect wild, domestic mammals, and humans. Among the species described, at least 20 are pathogenic to humans, and can cause different clinical manifestations such as visceral, mucocutaneous, and cutaneous leishmaniasis. The classic treatment of leishmaniasis is performed with pentavalent a…
Leishmaniases are diseases caused by different species of parasites belonging to the Leishmania genus, that affects millions of people worldwide. The disease can be characterized by different clinical forms, depending upon of the species and the relation between host and parasite. Leishmaniases occur in 98 countries, in five continents; therefore, it is a global concern. Even with a huge …
Leishmaniasis are infectious diseases caused by parasitic protozoa, that are transmitted during the blood-feeding of insect vectors, and can be classified clinically as cutaneous or visceral leishmaniasis. The cutaneous forms of leishmaniasis can be caused for, at least, fourteen Leishmania species, that in turn can cause at least four clinical forms of cutaneous leishmaniasis: localized …
Leishmaniasis are antropozoonosis considered as a serious problem of public health, that represent a complex of diseases with important clinical spectrum and epidemiological diversity. The current treatments are not totally effective and possess serious side effects to patients. Furthermore, in some parts of the world there are reports of resistance of the parasite to standard drugs, that…

Leishmaniasis are infectious diseases caused by protozoal belonging to Leishmania genus. Different species are pathogenic to humans, and cause distinct clinical forms, of which visceral and anergic diffuse leishmaniasis are considered serious health problem. In addition, recommended drugs (pentavalent antimonials and amphotericin B) are outdated, painful, and induce many local and systemi…
Leishmaniasis is endemic in 98 countries and it is considered neglected by the World Health Organization. Leishmaniasis is caused by a protozoan parasite of the Leishmania genus and is transmitted by a sandfly vector. This disease presents different clinical forms, ranging from simple ulcerated skin lesion, that may disappears spontaneously, to the visceral form that affects internal orga…
