The Leishmaniases The leishmaniases is a group of diseases caused by protozoan haemoflagelates of the genus Leishmania. These protists belong to the family of the Trypanosomatidae (order Kinetoplastida) and are closely related to the trypanosomes. The disease is tranmitted by female sandflies ( Phlebotomus or Lutzomya ) that feed on the blood of an animal or human host. Leishmaniasis is a zoonosis . It affects mainly sylvatic animals such as rodents and opossums and domestic animals such as dogs. The disease is prevalent in most tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world, such as East and South-East Asia, the Middle Esat, North and East Africa, the south of Europe (the Mediterranian basin) and Central and South America. The disease occurs in three different manifestations depending on the region where it occurs and on the parasite: ( Click here for the World maps of leishmaniases, 22k The different manifestations of Leishmaniasis Type of leishmaniasis Species Visceral Leishmania donovani Cutaneous Oriental sore, (Bouton d'orient) L. tropica

(b. Oct. 2, 1917, Thames Ditton, Surrey, Eng.), Belgian cytologist and biochemist who discovered lysosomes (the digestive organelles of the cell) and peroxisomes (organelles that are the site of metabolic processes involving hydrogen peroxide). For this work he shared the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1974 with Albert Claude and George Palade De Duve's discovery of lysosomes arose out of his research on the enzymes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates by the liver. While using Claude's technique of separating the components of cells by spinning them in a centrifuge, he noticed that the cells' release of an enzyme called acid phosphatase increased in proportion to the amount of damage done to the cells during centrifugation. De Duve reasoned that the acid phosphatase was enclosed within the cell in some kind of membranous envelope that formed a self-contained organelle. He calculated the probable size of this organelle, christened it the lysosome, and later identified it in electron microscope pictures. De Duve's discovery of lysosomes answered the question of how the powerful enzymes used by cells to digest nutrients are kept separate from other cell components. In 1947 de Duve joined the faculty of the Catholic University of Louvain, Belg., where he had received his M.D. in 1941 and a master's degree in chemistry in 1946. From 1962 he simultaneously headed research laboratories at Louvain, where he became emeritus professor in 1985, and at Rockefeller University, New York City, where he was named emeritus professor in 1988.

Duve, Christian de I was born on October 2nd 1917, in Thames-Ditton, near London. My parents, of Belgian-German extraction, were Belgian nationals who had taken refuge in England during the war. They returned to Belgium in 1920, and I grew up in the cosmopolitan harbour city of Antwerp, at a time when education in the Flemish part of the country was still half French and half Flemish. Due to these various circumstances, when I entered the Catholic University of Louvain in 1934, I had already travelled in a number of European countries and spoke four languages fairly fluently. This turned out to be a valuable asset in my subsequent career as a scientist. In the meantime, war had broken out. After a brief interval in the army and a temporary stay in a prisoners' camp, from which I promptly escaped thanks to the general confusion which followed the disastrous defeat of the allies, I had returned to Louvain to complete my studies. I had become convinced that the problem of insulin action needed to be approached by means of biochemical methods. Since research activities were almost paralysed due to lack of essential supplies, I embarked an another four-year curriculum, to gain the degree of "Licencié en Sciences Chimiques". I combined these studies with a clinical internship in the Cancer Institute, with as much experimental work as war circumstances allowed, and with extensive reading of the earlier literature on insulin.

This formed the subject of his 1995 book Vital Dust . de Duve shared the 1974 Nobel Prize for Medicine for his contributions to understanding the structural and functional organization of cells, including his discovery of lysosomes. In 1962 he was appointed a professor at the Rockefeller Institute in New York and has divided his time since between here and the University of Louvain in Brussels, from which he received an M.D. (1941) and the degree of "Agrégé de l'Enseignement Supérieur" (1945) for a thesis on the mechanism of insulin. He is now emeritus professor at both institutions and plans, in his own words, "to devote my remaining years to further probing what, if anything, our growing understanding of life and mind can tell us about the structure and meaning of the universe."

This turned out to be a valuable asset in my subsequent career as a scientist. That I would embrace such a career was, however, very far from my mind. My education, according to the tradition of the jesuit school which I attended, had been centered on the "ancient humanities", and I was strongly attracted to the more literary branches. I nevertheless decided to study medicine, largely because of the appeal of medical practice as an occupation. Medical studies left a fair amount of free time in those days, and there was a tradition at the university that the better students joined a research laboratory. So it was that I entered the physiology laboratory of Professor J. P. Bouckaert, whose rigorous analytical mind exerted a strong influence on my intellectual development. I was attached to a group investigating the effect of insulin on glucose uptake. By the time when I graduated as an MD in 1941, I had abandoned all thought of a medical career, and had only one ambition: to elucidate the mechanism of action of insulin.

Christian de Duve Institute of Cellular Pathology Courtesy Nicole De Kempeneer Historical of laboratory surface area, out of the 8,000 m available in the buildings, were completed and equipped. They housed four teams that, being separated in Louvain, had decided to take advantage of the faculty's transfer to join forces in a multidisciplinary enterprise. These teams specialized respectively in biochemistry and cell biology ( C. de Duve , H.G. Hers, J. Berthet, H. Beaufay), immunology (J.-F. Heremans), endocrinology (M. de Visscher) and molecular biology (C. Cocito). The remaining area existed only in brick-and-mortar form, and it was left to the founders to find the means to complete the space and finance the new teams who would occupy it. These were to be recruited on a national and international basis. A bare three years later, the goal was reached. Since then, the ICP houses about 275 investigators and technicians working in a wide variety of fields and supported financially by a complex structure involving the University, the State, the Regions, various national, foreign and international foundations and organizations, industries and private philanthropy. Thanks to a large fellowship programme, many young Belgian and foreign investigators participate in the activities of the ICP and receive excellent training in it. To pay a tribute to its founder, the general assembly has decided in 1997 to change the name of the institute to Christian de Duve Institute of Cellular Pathology.
