defaultStatus="Base de Dados Tropical"; INTERNATIONAL LEISHMANIA NETWORK, ILN The establishment of an International Leishmania Network, ILN, Brazilian Research Council, CNPq . Leishmaniasis is a disease that affects many people in tropical countries. The AIDS panepidemic is showing that many more people are infected than was previously expected. The network consists of a discussion group Leish-L and more structured topic areas presently covering the following: Leishmania Taxonomy Strains: Reference and Labelling Leishmania ... Searching for Literature and sites on Leishmanisis A list of monoclonal antibodies that react with Leishmania is presently being prepared. Monoclonal antibodies are useful for identifying Leishmania and a basic set can be obtained on request from the World Health Organization. The organizers hope that interested people will examine the above topics and suggest improvements, links to interesting sites and new ones. In the case of new subject areas we would like to have volunteers to look after them and keep them up to date. email suggestions to ILN's General Manager - Jeffrey Shaw ( jshaw@tba.com.br

Yellow Fever Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease transmitted by the bite of some species of sand flies. The disease most commonly manifests either in a cutaneous (skin) form or in a visceral (internal organ) form. Cutaneous leishmaniasis is characterized by one or more skin sores (either open or closed) that develop weeks to months after a person is bitten by infected sand flies. The manifestations of visceral leishmaniasis, such as fever, enlargement of the spleen and liver, and anemia, typically develop months, but sometimes years, after a person becomes infected. Occurrence Tropical and subtropical areas of Africa. The infection usually is acquired in rural areas but may be acquired in some urban areas as well.

Tanto la Leishmaniosis humana como la canina pueden clasificarse según el tipo de Leishmania que causa la enfermedad (la Leishmania donovani se considera la más frecuente e importante) o el cuadro clínico que se presenta. CONTAGIO: Los llamados amastigotes (forma no flagelada de la Leishmania) se forman en los macrófagos del animal y es cuando el Phlebotomus pica, cuando son ingeridos. Dentro del insecto, los amastigotes pasan a promastigotes (flagelados) los cuales penetraran en un nuevo individuo cuando el insecto pique de nuevo. Los principales reservorios son perros y roedores; las personas son probablemente

LEISHMANIASIS In recent years the American Military have reported cases of Leishmanasis with Cutaneous Leishmaniasis observed in U.S. troops in Panama and Viscerl Leishmaniasis noted in U.S. troops returned from Saudia Arabia as well as Gulf War Veterans. (There are no reports of and Canadian veterns being infected). An epidemic of Leishmaniasis (kala-azar or black fever) is reported from the Northeast Indian state of Bihar with spread into neighbouring Nepal. In May 1993 WHO rpeorted an outbreak of Visceral Leishmaniasis in Southern Sudan and in the western Upper Nile Province. The Ministry of Health in the State Capital Patna have reported 27,000 cases in 1992 and WHO estimates that there have been 10,000 deaths, with the possibility of dramatic increases in these figures. The causative protozoan infection is transmitted by sandflies. Travellers to rural areas where this disease is being reported should take very strict precautions to avoid being bitten by sandflies because no vaccines or prophylactic drugs are available. Preventive measures for the individual traveller are aimed at reducing man-fly contact. Outdoor activities should be avoided when sandflies are most active (dusk to dawn). Although sandflies are primarily nighttime biters, transmission of leishmaniasis may occur during the day if resting sandflies are disturbed. Sandfly activity in an area may easily be underestimated, because sandflies are noiseless fliers and occasional bites may not be noted.

WHO evaluation of diagnostic tests Leishmaniasis The leishmaniases are a group of diseases caused by protozoan parasites of the Leishmania complex. The major clinical forms are: Visceral leishmaniasis or kala-azar, affecting an estimated 500,000 people each year, is a deadly disease if left untreated. The parasites colonize the internal organs, in particular the spleen, bone marrow and lymph nodes. (Muco)cutaneous leishmaniasis, affecting approximately 1.5 million people per year. In this case the parasite is confined to the skin where it causes one or more slow-healing sores (oriental sore, Aleppo boil). In the case of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, the infection spreads to the mucosal membranes, especially those of the mouth and nose, where it may cause extensive damage.

Privacy statement Leishmaniasis Updated: Oct 24, 2002 Leishmaniasis is a parasitic infection spread by sandflies, which feed on humans and then inject parasites called mastigotes into the bloodstream or skin. These parasites then reproduce, causing the symptoms. Leishmaniasis occurs in three forms: as a skin disorder which results in ulceration (cutaneous leishmaniasis), as lesions of the mucous membranes in the nose, mouth and throat (mucocutaneous leishmaniasis) and as a chronic wasting illness (visceral leishmaniasis, also known as kala azar). The three forms are spread by separate types of sandflies.

Leishmania infection can cause skin disease (called cutaneous leishmaniasis). It can affect the mucous membranes with a wide range of appearance, most frequently ulcers . It may cause skin lesions that resemble those of other diseases including cutaneous tuberculosis syphilis leprosy , skin cancer basal cell carcinoma ), and fungus infections. Leishmania can also cause systemic disease (visceral leishmaniasis) with fatal complications. When introduced into the body by the bite of a sandfly, the parasite migrates to the bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes.

CANINE LEISHMANIASIS What is canine leishmaniasis? It is a parasitic disease due to an unicellular blood parasite, Leishmania infantum, transmitted by a tiny insect (female phlebotomidae), that rages principally on the mediterranean coast. Leishmaniasis also affects the man and a few other mammals, but the leishmania species involved can be very different. Sources of parasites The phlebotome absorbs leishmania when pumping the blood of a parasited dog, and it can retransmit them to another dog one or two weeks after the infecting meal. Man is an exceptional host; when he happens to be contaminated, he may develop a lesion at the inoculation point (cutaneous leishmaniasis), or an internal disease, called "Kala-Azar", inducing the enlargement of the spleen and the liver. Spreading In Europe, leishmaniasis is present all along the mediterranean border. In France, there are about 30 000 dogs suffering from leishmaniasis. We can distinguish 3 groups of "risky" departments, in descending order of importance: Gard, Hérault, Bouches-du-Rhône, Var, Eastern Pyrenees and Maritim Alps. (More than 50 cases per year are diagnosed all over these departments.)

Distribution Africa, Asia, Central and South America, Southern Europe, Middle East. Other Names Kala-azar, Oriental sore, espundia, uta The Leishmaniases are caused by protozoal parasites of the genus Leishmania and are spread by small phlebotomine sand flies. The leishmaniases are now endemic in 88 countries on five continents—Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America—with a total of 350 million people at risk. It is believed that worldwide 12 million people are affected by leishmaniasis; this figure includes cases with overt disease and those with no apparent symptoms. Of the 1.5-2 million new cases of leishmaniasis estimated to occur annually, only 600,000 are officially declared. Leishmaniasis presents in four different forms with a broad range of manifestations: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is the most severe form and if untreated has a mortality rate of almost 100%. This form is characterized by fever, weight loss, enlargement of the spleen and liver and anemia. Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (MCL) produces lesions which can lead to extensive and disfiguring destruction of mucous membranes of the nose, mouth and throat cavities. Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) manifests with sores or ulcers on exposed parts of the body such as arms, legs and face which may heal spontaneously, but the diffuse form of CL does not heal and relapses after treatment.
