     Extractions: Leishmaniasis Protective clothing and insect repellent should be used for supplementary protection. Clothing should cover as much of the body as possible and tolerable in the climate. Repellent with DEET (N,N-diethylmethyltoluamide) (DEET) should be applied to exposed skin and under the edges of clothing, such as under the ends of sleeves and pant legs. It should be applied according to the manufacturer's instructions; repeated applications may be necessary under conditions of excessive perspiration, wiping, and washing. Although impregnation of clothing with permethrin may provide additional protection, it does not eliminate the need for repellent on exposed skin and should be repeated after every five washings.

     Extractions: AVMA Home AVMA Journals Home JAVMA online ... News Researchers seeking to make a vaccine against a serious parasitic infection have discovered fly saliva might be the key. A study reported in the August 6 Journal of Experimental Medicine states that scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases have developed a vaccine for a component of sand fly saliva that prevents leishmaniasis in mice. Leishmaniasis, a disabling and sometimes deadly illness, is caused by a parasite transmitted to people and animals through the bite of a sand fly. The disease is a major health problem in many tropical and desert climates. Visceral canine leishmaniasis outbreaks were reported in North American canine populations just last year ( see JAVMA Oct. 15, 2000 , page 1129). Until now, efforts to develop an effective vaccine were not promising. "[This] report describes a novel vaccine," said NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, MD. "Rather than targeting the parasite, as is typical, our researchers produced a vaccine to the saliva of the insect that transmits the parasite. This approach could potentially be used to develop vaccines for other insect- or tick-borne diseases." Leishmaniasis refers to a group of related diseases. Different species of the single-celled parasite

     Extractions: Institut de Recherche Pour le Développement Visceral leishmaniasis, which is the most severe form of that group of diseases, affects 500 000 people in the world each year. It is caused by a protozoan, Leishmania infantum, transmitted by sand fly bites. There is no vaccine for this disease, which can rapidly lead to death if no treatment is given. In the most heavily affected areas, the dog population is hit heavily by infection. It acts as parasite reservoir for humans. Development of a vaccine for dogs could help brake transmission of the disease to humans, by reducing this reservoir. Such prevention treatment has just been tested successfully on dogs by an IRD team in Montpellier, in conjunction with the Rocher veterinary clinic (La Garde, Var) and the biopharmaceutical company Bio Véto Test (La Seyne-Sur-Mer, Var). The first results showed total lasting protection of these animals against the disease, could open the way towards the development of a human vaccine. Visceral leishmaniasis, which is the most severe form of the leishmaniases, hits an annual total of 500 000 people, mostly in the developing countries. It is caused by the parasite Leishmania infantum. A flagellate protozoan, it uses as vector an insect resembling a midge, the sand fly, colonizing the intestine and then the salivary glands. The female insect feeds on mammals' blood. It can thus pass the parasite on to humans by a single bite. Once in the blood stream, L. infantum passes into particular cells of the immune system, the macrophages. These eventually burst, releasing the parasites which move on to penetrate other cells. The infected subject suffers bouts of fever, anaemia, enlarged spleen and liver, and weight loss. In the absence of treatment, these clinical signs usually announce a fatal outcome.
