Leishmania exposure in dogs from two endemic countries from New and Old Worlds ...
Maia, Carla; Fraga, Deborah Bittencourt Mothé; Cristóvão, José; Borja, Lairton Souza; Da Silva Solcà, Manuela; Campino, LeneaBackground: Zoonotic leishmaniosis caused by Leishmania infantum is endemic in several countries of the Mediterranean Basin, Latin America, and Asia. Dogs are the main hosts and reservoirs of human infection. Thus, from a One Health perspective, early diagnosis of Leishmania infection in dogs is essential to control the dissemination of the parasite among other dogs and to humans. The aim of this study was to e...
A conceptual model for understanding the zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis trans...
Karmaoui, Ahmed; Sereno, Denis; Maia, Carla; Campino, Lenea; El Jaafari, Samir; Taybi, Abdelkhaleq Fouzi; Hajji, LhoussainPublisher Copyright: © 2022 The Authors; Leishmanioses are of public health concern in Morocco, mainly the Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ZCL) endemic in the Moroccan pre-Saharian area. Transmission of this disease depends on eco-epidemiological and socio-economic conditions. Therefore, a multivariable approach is required to delineate the risk and intensity of transmission. This will help outline main disea...

Monitoring Leishmania infection and exposure to Phlebotomus perniciosus using m...
Maia, Carla; Cristóvão, José; Pereira, André; Kostalova, Tatiana; Lestinova, Tereza; Sumova, Petra; Volf, Petr; Campino, LeneaBACKGROUND: In endemic areas of zoonotic leishmaniosis caused by L. infantum, early detection of Leishmania infection in dogs is essential to control the dissemination of the parasite to humans. The aim of this study was to evaluate the serological and/or molecular diagnostic performance of minimally and non-invasive samples (conjunctiva cells (CS) and peripheral blood (PB)) for monitoring Leishmania infection/...
Antibody response to Phlebotomus perniciosus saliva in cats naturally exposed t...
Pereira, André; Cristóvão, José Manuel; Vilhena, Hugo; Martins, Ângela; Cachola, Patrícia; Henriques, Joaquim; Coimbra, Mónica; Catarino, AnaBACKGROUND: Zoonotic leishmaniosis, caused by the protozoan Leishmania infantum, is a public and animal health problem in Asia, Central and South America, the Middle East and the Mediterranean Basin. Several phlebotomine sand fly species from the subgenus Larroussius are vectors of L. infantum. Data from dogs living in endemic areas of leishmaniosis advocate the use of antibody response to phlebotomine sand fly...
Biomarkers Associated with Leishmania infantum Exposure, Infection, and Disease...
Maia, Carla; Campino, LeneaCanine leishmaniosis (CanL) is a vector-borne disease caused by the protozoan Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum species [syn. L. (L.) infantum chagasi species in the Americas] which is transmitted by the bite of a female phlebotomine sand fly. This parasitosis is endemic and affect millions of dogs in Asia, the Americas and the Mediterranean basin. Domestic dogs are the main hosts and the main reservoir hosts fo...

Colella, Vito; Maia, Carla; Pereira, André; Gonçalves, Nuno; Caruso, Marta; Martin, Coralie; Cardoso, Luis; Campino, Lenea; Scandale, IvanThe genus Onchocerca encompasses parasitic nematodes including Onchocerca volvulus, causative agent of river blindness in humans, and the zoonotic Onchocerca lupi infecting dogs and cats. In dogs, O. lupi adult worms cause ocular lesions of various degrees while humans may bear the brunt of zoonotic onchocercosis with patients requiring neurosurgical intervention because of central nervous system localization o...
Serological association between Leishmania infantum and sand fly fever Sicilian...
Maia, Carla; Alwassouf, Sulaf; Cristóvão, José Manuel; Ayhan, Nazli; Pereira, André; Charrel, Remi N.; Campino, LeneaBackground: Phlebotomine sand fly-borne diseases such as leishmanioses and phleboviruses are emerging threats to animal and public health. Canine leishmaniosis caused by Leishmania infantum is an endemic zoonosis in Portugal. Antibodies to Toscana virus (TOSV) and sand fly fever Sicilian virus (SFSV) were also reported in dogs from the south of the country. The aim of this work was to evaluate a possible associ...
Evaluation of four molecular methods to detect Leishmania infection in dogs
Albuquerque, Andreia; Campino, Lenea; Cardoso, Luís; Cortes, SofiaBackground: Canine leishmaniasis, a zoonotic disease caused by Leishmania infantum vectored by phlebotomine sand flies, is considered a relevant veterinary and public health problem in various countries, namely in the Mediterranean basin and Brazil, where dogs are considered the main reservoir hosts. Not only diseased dogs but also those subclinically infected play a relevant role in the transmission of L. infa...
