Product Description
This work has been done within a trilateral German-Israeli-Palestinian Research project sponsored by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft" DFG. Leishmaniasis is a vector borne disease caused by a unicellular parasite prevalent in the tropics and subtropics. There are serious and less serious disease forms ranging from life threatening visceral leishmaniasis to self limited cutaneous leishmaniasis. In Israel and the West Bank newly emerging foci were reported and there was great need to better understand the epidemiology of the disease and the causative species involved. The project involved interdisciplinary cooperation between immunologists entomologists veterinarians and medical doctors. The presented work is a contribution to the project with focus on diagnostic methods. In order to understand the epidemiology of the disease in the region it was essential to be able to identify the species of Leishmania as well as to ensure diagnosis at a highly sensitive level. Diagnostic methods were employed in patients as well as in different animals species as canids and rodents involved in the transmission cycle of Leishmaniasis. " ... Read more

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Rock Hyrax, or Cape Hyrax, is one of the four living species of the order Hyracoidea, and the only living species in the genus Procavia. Like all hyraxes, it is a medium-sized terrestrial mammal, superficially resembling a guinea pig with short ears and tail. The rock hyrax is found across Africa and the Middle East, in habitats with rock crevices in which to escape from predators. Hyraxes typically live in groups of 10?80 animals, and forage as a group. Their most striking behaviour is the use of sentries: one or more animals take up position on a vantage point and issue alarm calls on the approach of predators. ... Read more

Product Description
Leishmaniasis is a major public health problemthroughout much of the tropical and subtropicalworld. To date there is no vaccine againstLeishmania and chemotherapy is the main weapon inour arsenal. There is an urgent need to identifynovel chemotherapeutic targets and better drugsagainst Leishmania. In our search for effectiveantileishmanial lead molecules we have replacedempirical screening with rational drug design.Identifying suitable potential drug targets isessential for effective drug development. We haveemployed pteridine reductase 1 enzyme in Leishmaniaas one such target. Pteridine reductase 1 is a NADPHdependent short chain reductase responsible for thesalvage of pterins in this protozoan parasite. Thisenzyme acts as a metabolic bypass for drugstargeting dihydrofolate reductase therefore forsuccessful antifolate chemotherapy to be developedagainst Leishmania it must target both enzymeactivities. ...

Product Description
This report makes recommendations on new therapeutic regimens for visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis, on the use of rapid diagnostic tests, details on the management of Leishmania-HIV coinfection and consideration of social factors and climate change as risk factors for increased spread.

Recommendations for research include the furtherance of epidemiological knowledge of the disease and clinical studies to address the lack of an evidence-based therapeutic regimen for cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniases and post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL).

This report not only provides clear guidance on implementation but should also raise awareness about the global burden of leishmaniasis and its neglect. It puts forward directions for formulation of national control programmes and elaborates the strategic approaches in the fight against Leishmaniases. The committee's work reflects the latest scientific and other relevant developments in the field of leishmaniasis that can be considered by member states when setting national programmes and making public health decisions. ...
