    Exposure to Leishmania spp. infection and Lutzomyia spp. in individuals living in an area endemic for visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil
    (2020) HIRATA, Karina Yukie; OLIVEIRA SOBRINHO, Edenilson Borges de; RIGON, Lais; UTSUNOMIYA, Yuri Tani; TOMOKANE, Thaise Yumie; LAURENTI, Marcia Dalastra; MARCONDES, Mary
    Introduction: This study aimed to investigate human exposure to Leishmania spp. infection and sandflies in an area endemic for the disease. Methods: The presence of antibodies specific for Leishmania spp. and saliva of Lutzomyia spp. and that of L. infantum DNA in blood were evaluated. Results: Antibodies against Leishmania spp. and sandfly saliva were observed in 20.8% and 37.7% of individuals, respectively. DNA of Leishmania spp. was amplified from the blood of one patient. Conclusions: The results suggest that Leishmania spp. infection may be underdiagnosed in this area.

    Canine antibody response to Lutzomyia longipalpis saliva in endemic area of visceral leishmaniasis
    (2016) BATISTA, Luis Fabio da Silva; MATTA, Vania Lucia Ribeiro da; TOMOKANE, Thaise Yumie; PACHECO, Accio Duarte; SILVEIRA, Fernando Tobias; ROSSI, Claudio Nazaretian; MARCONDES, Mary; LAURENTI, Marcia Dalastra
    Introduction: Canine exposure to Lutzomyia longipalpis bites and the potential of Leishmania infantum transmissibility for the vector were evaluated. Methods: Immunoglobulin G (IgG) anti-Lu longipalpis saliva and-L. infantum, and blood parasite load were determined in dogs from endemic areas of visceral leishmaniasis. Results: Blood parasitism was similar between symptomatic and asymptomatic dogs. IgG anti-L. infantum was higher in symptomatic dogs, but IgG anti-Lu. longipalpis saliva was mostly observed in higher titers in asymptomatic dogs, indicating vector preference for feeding on asymptomatic dogs. Conclusions: Our data suggest a pivotal role of asymptomatic dogs in L. infantum transmission in endemic areas.
