Over 20 Leishmania species as well as hybrids are involved <br>and they are transmitted to humans by the bite of infected <br>phlebotomine female sandflies. It is principally a zoonotic disease <br>and some 70 animal species are reservoirs but, in some regions,humans <br>themselves are the source of infection. 1.3 million new cases and 20 <br>000 deaths occur annually.<br><br>There are 3 main clinical forms:<br>• Cutaneous: the most common form, 95% of the cases occur in the <br>Americas, the Mediterranean basin, the Middle East and Central Asia - <br>single or disseminated skin lesions<br>• Mucocutaneous: principally in the Americas, destruction of mucosal <br>regions of the nose, mouth and throat<br>• Visceral: the fatal form of disease, the majority of cases occur in <br>6 countries: Bangladesh, Brazil, Ethiopia, India, Sudan and South Sudan.<br><br>There are two other important, but less common, forms:<br>• Diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis (DCL): an anergid form of disease - <br>rare, America and Oriental Africa<br>• Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL): endemic in East Africa <br>and the Indian subcontinent. A sequela of visceral resolution, there <br>is cutaneous manifestation.<br><br>There is a lack of sustainable control measures and different forms of <br>the disease are expanding. Of particular concern is the increasing <br>number of subclinical infections of Leishmania parasites that may <br>flare up due to immunosuppression or be a source of infection in blood <br>transfusions or organ transplants. A key goal is the reduction of <br>fatal cases of visceral leishmaniasis in both India and Brazil but <br>this is difficult in the absence of a vaccine for humans. Treatment in <br>lower-income countries is based on toxic medicines developed in the <br>1940s. This is aggravated by the development of resistance to these <br>older medications.<br><br>The aim of this collectio is to draw attention to areas of basic and <br>applied research that focus on immunity/pathogenesis in the <br>development of new therapies and vaccines.<br><br>Guest Editors: Prof. Jeffrey Shaw and Prof. Herbert Leonel de Matos Guedes<br><br><br> 18) Research<br> Efficacy of intranasal LaAg vaccine against Leishmania <br>amazonensis infection in partially resistant C57Bl/6 mice<br><br> Juliana Elena Silveira Pratti, Tadeu Diniz Ramos, Joyce Carvalho <br>Pereira, Alessandra Marcia da Fonseca-Martins, Diogo Maciel-Oliveira, <br>Gabriel Oliveira-Silva, Mirian França de Mello, Suzana Passos Chaves, <br>Daniel Claudio Oliveira Gomes, Bruno Lourenço Diaz, Bartira <br>Rossi-Bergmann and Herbert Leonel de Matos Guedes<br><br> Parasites & Vectors 2016 9:534<br><br><br><br><br> 17) Review<br> Differences in immune responses against Leishmania induced by <br>infection and by immunization with killed parasite antigen: <br>implications for vaccine discovery<br><br> Sergio C.
