Extractions: We are deeply sorry to hear that Dr. Amar Bhaduri passed away. He served as a member in the Scientific Committee of WorldLeish II. He will be missed by us all. Sicily earned the top score and is thus the priority choice for further consideration and discussion as the site for the WorldLeish III in 2005. The priority ranking scores of the four proposals, a list of the participating reviewers and their comments on proposed sites are presented in the Worldleish 3 pages Ready for WorldLeish 3 It is time to become serious for all leishmaniacs to consider WorldLeish III, which is scheduled to take place in 2005. WorldLeish I and II were successfully held at Istanbul in 1997 and Hersonissos, Crete in 2001, respectively. Progresses have been made with each Congress held to strengthen the operational procedures. They need to be further improved with the hope to increase the participation of leishmaniacs from all disciplinary areas and to ensure the excellence of the scientific programs.

Extractions: Leishmaniasis Verbreitungskarte Die Leishmaniose (syn. Leishmaniasis) wird durch Parasiten (sog. Leishmanien) verursacht. Sie befallen bestimmte Zellen des Immunsystems und schädigen dadurch Milz, Leber, Knochenmark, Lymphknoten, Haut und -Schleimhaut. Der Schweregrad der Erkrankung und das Krankheitsbild richten sich nach der Erregerart, der Größe des Erregerbefalls als auch nach der Abwehrkraft der infizierten Person. Im Falle der Hautleishmaniose entwickelt sich ein Hautgeschwür (sog. Orient- oder Dehlibeule), das häufig erst nach Monaten unter Narbenbildung abheilt. Bei der Ausbildung von Schleimhautgeschwüren, die bevorzugt im Gesicht auftreten, kann es zu ausgeprägten Verstümmelungen der betroffenen Gesichtspartien kommen. Im Rahmen einer Allgemeininfektion befallen die Parasiten wichtige Körperorgane und beeinträchtigen ihre Funktionen. Das daraus resultierende Krankheitsbild der Kala Azar ist schwerwiegend und endet in der Regel unbehandelt meist tödlich. Die Weltgesundheitsorganisation schätzt jährlich rund 400.000 Erkrankte. Leishmaniosen treten in tropischen und subtropischen Klimazonen einschließlich der Mittelmeerländer (z.B. Italien, Spanien, Portugal) auf.

http://www.oneworldhealth.org/diseases/leishmaniasis.php

Extractions: (also known as kala-azar) is a deadly disease transmitted via the bite of an infected sand fly. Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is the most dangerous of the three manifestations of disease caused by the Leishmania parasite. VL is associated with fever, weight loss, enlargement of the spleen and liver, and anemia. If left untreated, it is nearly always fatal. Kala-azar Cure Enters Phase III in India An estimated 1.5 million people are currently infected with visceral leishmaniasis, and approximately 500,000 new cases arise annually worldwide. As many as 200,000 people die every year from this disease. Over 90% of visceral leishmaniasis cases occur in India, Bangladesh, Sudan, Brazil, and Nepal. OneWorld Health is developing the antibiotic paromomycin as a new cure for visceral leishmaniasis. Paromomycin is an off-patent aminoglycoside antibiotic that was previously approved by the U.S. FDA and is still marketed in the U.S. as an oral formulation to treat intestinal parasites. In June 2003, OneWorld Health initiated a clinical trial of 667 VL patients in India, in collaboration with the Program for Research and Training in Tropical Disease of the World Health Organization (TDR/WHO).
Leishmaniasis In Show Dogs And Imports

Extractions: Leishmaniasis is a nasty protozoan disease that affects both humans and dogs in many parts of the world. It is pronounced "leash man eye a sis". A list of countries where is is common can be found at the end of this article. As our US dog shows see more competitors from foreign countries, and breeding animals are imported more commonly, we will likely hear more about diseases which are largely unknown here. We recently had an example of this in our clinic in a brood bitch from Germany. The owner protested when I suggested a Lyme test before breeding the bitch, saying she hadn't been here long enough to have Lyme. But Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium named 'Borrelia burgdorfi', named for Burgdorf, Germany where it was first identified, and the bitch showed a positive Lyme Western Blot test. There are many places on the Net where you can go to read about leishmaniasis in humans, and it will be basically the same disease in dogs. There is a skin disease form, a form which causes ulcers in mucous membranes (the tongue and mouth), and a form which affects the internal organs. It may be fatal. The important things for us to know are: It is usually spread by an insect It is transmissible to humans from dogs and other animals (and from humans to dog as well); diseases which travel from other animals to humans are called

Extractions: Leishmaniasis Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease which occurs in three forms: (1) visceral disease, characterized by fever, weight loss, anemia, and enlargement of the liver and spleen developing over months to years; (2) cutaneous disease, manifested by skin ulcers on exposed parts of the body developing over weeks to months; and (3) mucocutaneous disease, characterized by disfiguring erosions of the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth, and throat. The disease is transmitted by sandflies, which are about one-third the size of mosquitoes. Sandflies breed in sites where its larvae will find warmth, moisture, and organic matter, such as leaf litter, loose earth, old tree bark, rubbish heaps, and crevices in human dwellings. Sandflies typically bite from dusk to dawn, but may bite during the daytime if disturbed. There is no vaccine at present. The key to prevention is insect protection measures , which are essentially the same as those outlined for mosquitoes, except that netting must be finer-mesh (at least 18 holes to the linear inch) since sandflies are smaller. Cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis were reported in October 2003 among U.S. military personnel serving in Iraq (especially in the urban and periurban areas of An Nasiriyah and Baghdad), Kuwait (near the Iraqi border), and Afghanistan.

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: leishmaniasis [l E u n I u sis] Pronunciation Key leishmaniasis , any of a group of tropical diseases caused by parasitic protozoans of the genus Leishmania. The parasites live in dogs, foxes, rodents, and humans; they are transmitted by the bites of sand flies. There they infect the very white blood cells that normally would defend the body from such invaders. There are two forms of leishmaniasis. The more serious, called kala-azar or visceral leishmaniasis, affects the internal organs, causing fever, anemia, splenomegaly, and discoloration of the skin. Untreated, it can be fatal. The second, or cutaneous form, leaves deep, disfiguring sores at the site of the bite. Treatment is with amphotericin B and other drugs. Leishmaniasis is rarely seen in the United States, but is prevalent in South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of the Mediterranean. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia

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: 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.

It is an obligate intracellular protozoan. The disease most commonly manifests either in a cutaneous (skin) form or in a visceral (internal organ) form. Leishmaniasis is found in approximately 90 tropical and subtropical countries around the world and in southern Europe. More than 90% of the world's cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis are in Afghanistan, Algeria, Brazil, Iran, Iraq, Peru, Saudi Arabia, and Syria.

http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/leishmaniasis.html

Extractions: Definition Leishmaniasis refers to several different illnesses caused by infection with an organism called a protozoan. Description Protozoa are considered to be the most simple organisms in the animal kingdom. They are all single-celled. The types of protozoa which cause leishmaniasis are carried by the blood-sucking sandfly. The sandfly is referred to as the disease vector, simply meaning that the infectious agent (the protozoan) is carried by the sandfly and passed on to other animals or humans in whom the protozoan will set up residence and cause disease. The animal or human in which the protozoan then resides is referred to as the host. Once the protozoan is within the human host, the human's immune system is activated to try to combat the invader. Specialized immune cells called macrophages work to swallow up the protozoa. Usually, this technique kills a foreign invader, but these protozoa can survive and flourish within macrophages. The protozoa multiply within the macrophages, ultimately causing the macrophage to burst open. The protozoa are released, and take up residence within other neighboring cells. At this point, the course of the disease caused by the protozoa is dependent on the specific type of protozoa, and on the type of reaction the protozoa elicits from the immune system. There are several types of protozoa which cause leishmaniasis, and they cause different patterns of disease progression.

http://www.kit.nl/biomedical_research/html/leishmaniasis_diagnostics.asp

Extractions: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is the most severe form of leishmaniasis. The disease is fatal if left untreated. The diagnosis of human VL is difficult. The principal signs of VL are an enlarged spleen and a prolonged irregular fever; other signs and symptoms are loss of weight, pallor, enlarged liver, enlarged lymph nodes, anaemia, cough and diarrhoea. These signs and symptoms may mimic those of malaria, typhoid, tuberculosis, schistosomiasis and a number of other diseases. The clinical suspicion may be confirmed directly by the detection of parasites in patient material or by culture. However, sample collection is inconvenient for the patient and parasite isolation by culture is time-consuming, expensive and difficult. Because of the mentioned limitations of the direct diagnostic methods, a number of indirect immunological methods, such as indirect immunofluorescent-antibody tests, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and a direct agglutination test (DAT), have been developed. The DAT remains the first line diagnostic tool in many developing countries such as Ethiopia and the Sudan. It is a simple and economical test with a high sensitivity and specificity. A problem with the DAT is that the often used aqueous antigen is not heat-stable, thus requiring a cold chain. A freeze-dried antigen has been developed by KIT Biomedical Research that remains stable at ambient temperature for years. The sensitivity and specificity of this freeze-dried antigen is high.
