We have applied a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique to detect Leishmania donovani DNA. The LAMP technique detected 1 fg of L. donovani DNA, which was 10-fold more sensitive than a conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR). All nested PCR-positive blood samples from visceral ...

Liposomal amphotericin-B (AmBisome) is now becoming first choice for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis (kala-azar) patients due to high efficacy and less toxicity. The reported incidence of hypersensitivity reactions to liposomal amphotericin-B (AmBisome), especially during therapy, is very ra...

Phlebotomus argentipes is a predominant vector of Leishmania donovani, the protozoan parasite causing visceral leishmaniasis in the Indian subcontinent. In hosts bitten by P. argentipes, sand fly saliva elicits the production of specific anti-salivary protein antibodies. Here, we have utilised these...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Phlebotomus argentipes is the main vector of visceral leishmaniasis in Bangladesh and is controlled using deltamethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid, through indoor residual spraying (IRS). A mutation at L1014 (leucine at codon 1014) of the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC), kno...

The emergence of pyrethroid resistance in Phlebotomus sandflies is an urgent issue for vector control using indoor residual spraying (IRS). Two amino acid substitutions at codon 1014 (L1014F and L1014S) in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene have been reported in Phlebotomus argentipes, a m...

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is the most severe form of leishmaniasis and is fatal if left untreated in over 95% of cases. Leishmaniasis is one of the neglected tropical diseases that tend to thrive in developing regions of the world where inadequate access to healthcare makes it difficult for some p...

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) also known as kala-azar (KA) is the most severe form of leishmaniasis and can be fatal in the absence of treatment. KA is highly endemic in Mymensingh region of Bangladesh. Although estimating the true incidence of VL may be difficult. The objective of the study was to ev...
