In general, neglected diseases occur in isolated areas from countries located between tropical and subtropical regions of the planet, which exhibit a huge diversity of vectors, microorganisms and reservoirs. In particular in Latin America, some infectious diseases caused by protozoal are of important epidemiological relevance, as is the case of leishmaniasis, which is caused by protoazol …
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 Pentavalent antimonials and amphotericin B are the main drugs employed in the therapy, however, are outdated, the injection i…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…

Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania, which produce structures known as extracellular vesicles (EVs) that carry a set of molecules associated with communication between parasite-parasite and parasite-host. These vesicles can suppress or stimulate the immune response of the vertebrate host. In this context, the present study aims to investigate the morphol…
Currently, leishmaniasis is considered a priority zoonosis for the World Health Organization (WHO), present in both visceral (VL) and cutaneous forms, depending on the parasite species. In South America, VL is caused by Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi, which affects internal organs such as the spleen and liver, causing VL. On the other hand, the same species in Honduras, besides …
Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease that affects approximately 1 million people annually worldwide. Although leishmaniasis is a disease with a high number of species infecting humans and causing a wide range of clinical manifestations, few drugs are used in treatment. The administration of these drugs results in numerous disadvantages during therapy, including limited effective…

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 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…
