Human leishmaniasis, both the cutaneous or muco-cutaneous forms, as well as the systemic visceral form, remain representing till how, an important public health problem around the world, especially in tropical and subtropical areas of the globe, where geographic, climate and social-economic factors contribute for the maintenance and dispersion of these diseases. In this way, Latin America…
The dermotropic species of Leishmania cause a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from benign cutaneous lesions (ulcerated or not) to desfiguring and severe manifesations such as muco-cutaneous and disseminated. Brazil, especially in the Amazon, is considered the area with the highest biodiversity of Leishmania species. Some of them are rare and not well studied. In this proj…
In both Hansen's disease and American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis (ATL) there is two distinct (extreme) clinical status characterized by an intense chronic inflammatory cellular exudate with low parasite tissue load, as follow: Tuberculoid Hansen's disease (HT) and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (CML). In general, even considering the particularities of each disease, it can be said that both s…

The infection by Leishmania infantum causes visceral leishmaniasis in the New and Old World, which is fatal if not treated. Bisedes that, in some countries of Central America, L. infantum is able to cause an atypical clinical manifestation called non-ulcerated cutaneous leishmaniasis, different from that cause by the same specie of parasite in South America and Europe that is characterize…
Exploration of the genetic basis of Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) has identified substantial amounts of biomarkers and thus has contributed to improve understanding of the pathogenesis of the VL. However, such findings have not been converted into disease control strategies. The identification of immunotherapeutic targets depends on the identification of metabolic pathways of the host, cons…
In the Americas, particularly in South America, infection by Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi cause subclinical manifestations and Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL), which if untreated is potentially fatal. In Honduras, infection by Leishmania (L.) infantum chagasi causes Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL), but has also been reported Non-Ulcerated or Atypical Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (NUCL) cau…
In the Americas, especially in South America, infection with Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi causes subclinical manifestations and visceral leishmaniasis (LV), which when untreated is potentially fatal. In Honduras, infection by Leishmania (L.) infantum chagasi causes Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL), but non-ulcerated or atypical cutaneous leishmaniasis (LCNU) caused by this parasite…
Leishmaniasis is the zoonosis with the highest incidence in the rural population of Panama. Approximately 3000 new cases have been registered annually in the country, and the same number of cases without a confirmatory diagnosis is estimated. This register is due to the chronicity of the infection and to the fact that the disease occurs mainly in poor rural populations, usually far from t…

Genetic diversity of the host-parasite interplay may be associated with differences in disease outcome, resistance to treatment and eco-epidemiological traits. Deletion of a >12kb loci on chromosome 31 of L. infantum has been associated with resistance to treatment in visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Named Mitelfosine Sensitive Loci (MSL), this chromosomal segment includes genes related to vi…
