Leishmaniasis From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by parasites that belong to the genus Leishmania and is transmitted by the bite of certain species of sandfly , including flies in the genus Lutzomyia in the new world and Phlebotomus in the old world. Synonyms for leishmaniasis include kala azar black fever sandfly disease Dum-Dum fever and espundia . The disease is named for William Boog Leishman . Most forms of the disease are transmittable only from animals ( zoonosis ), but some can be spread between people.

The soldiers nicknamed the disease the Baghdad boil .

Abstract An assessment was conducted of the impact of infectious diseases on the 697,000 U.S. troops deployed to the Persian Gulf during 1990-1991 in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. The incidence of nonbattle injuries, including infectious diseases, during this conflict was lower than during previous wars involving U.S. military personnel. The major reported causes of morbidity were generally mild cases of acute diarrheal and upper respiratory disease. The most unexpected outcome was the lack of arboviral infections, particularly sandfly fever, and the occurrence among U.S. troops of 12 cases of visceral leishmaniasis due to

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.

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.

Alternative Names: Kala-azar Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Leishmania are tiny protozoa. Their parasitic life cycle includes the sandfly and an appropriate host. Humans are one of those hosts. 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. Systemic infection in children usually begins suddenly with vomiting diarrhea fever , and cough . In adults, fever for 2 weeks to 2 months is accompanied by nonspecific symptoms, such as

Back to Infectious Diseases or Refugees Leishmaniasis: Visceral or Kala-Azar, Cutaneous, and Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis (Espundia) Primary Distribution : East and North Africa, Middle East, Southern Europe, Central, South, and East Asia, South America, West Mexico. Agent and Vector : The protozoal parasite species Leishmania is transmitted through the bite of female sandflies (phlebotomine) as follows: Visceral leishmaniasis or kala-azar is caused primarily by L. donovani L. chagasi , or L. infantum . Dogs (feral or domesticated) are a reservoir for L. chagasi Cutaneous leishmaniasis usually divided into (1) Old World leishmaniasis caused primarily by L. tropica L. major L. aethiopica , and (2) New World leishmaniasis caused primarily by L. Mexicana or L. braziliensis . Diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis is caused primarily by L. aethiopica or L. mexicana Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (espundia) is caused primarily by L. (viannia) braziliensis . Altogether, there are about 21 leishmanial species that are transmitted by about 30 species of sandflies. Incubation : Usually 2-6 months or longer. Relapse may occur as many as 10 years after first episode. Local trauma sometimes activates latent infection in cutaneous leishmaniasis.

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.

Since the introduction of the Pet Passport Scheme there has been a massive rise in the number of animals entering the country. As a direct result the incidence of Leishmaniasis, a killer and potentially zoonotic parasite, has increased dramatically. Recognition of clinical signs and accurate diagnosis of Leishmaniasis is difficult. And importing rare, off-license, treatments from Europe is frustrating, time consuming and upsetting for all concerned. This site solves these problems and brings you the only resource where you can: Teach yourself how to recognise the clinical signs Follow the best testing protocols Download the right lab forms Order the gold standard treatment, Glucantime, with the click of a mouse If you are starting from scratch and wish to learn all about the disease, then we recommend reading our comprehensive peer reviewed notes on leishmaniasis Alternatively if you have a confirmed case and wish to consider the treatment options then click here This site was inspired by and is dedicated to 'Roberto', a brave Spanish dog, now resident in the UK. His experience and hardship blazed the tough trail that all other pets will now follow. His experience has knocked weeks off the wait for treatment. Rob got his glucantime and as a result, three years later he's still going strong. Your pets and patients can benefit as well.
