Extractions: Over US$240,000 has been donated since the drive began on 19 August. Thank you for your generosity! 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. edit It can be transmitted in many tropical and sub-tropical countries, although the preponderance of cases (more than 90 percent of the world's cases) occur in Bangladesh Brazil India Nepal and Sudan Leishmaniasis is present in Iraq and was contracted by a number of the troops involved in the 2003 invasion of that country and the subsequent occupation . The soldiers nicknamed the disease the Baghdad boil . It has been reported by the Agence France-Presse that more than 650 U.S. soldiers may have experienced the disease between the start of the invasion in

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 Clinical Trial Coming to a Close An estimated 1.5 million people are currently infected with visceral leishmaniasis, also known as kala-azar, 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.

Extractions: 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

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.

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 continentsAfrica, Asia, Europe, North America and South Americawith 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.

Extractions: 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

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. 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

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.
