Leishmaniasis• a variety of disease manifestations• focal distribution throughout world,
especially tropics and subtropics• new world: southern Texas to northern
Argentina• old world: Asia, Africa, middle east,
Mediterranean• transmitted by sand flies
• new world: Lutzomyia• old world: Phlebotomus
• 350 million at risk• 12 million infected• 1.5-2 million clinical
cases/year

Sandfly Transmission
• transmitted via mouthparts• promastigotes regurgitated
from anterior gut• factors in saliva enhance
infectivity• immunosuppressive factor?

1) metacyclic promastigotes
2) phagocytosis by macrophage amastigote
3) replication within macrophage
4) release and phagocytosis of amastigotes

Leishmania-Macrophage Interactions
• attachment and entry• involves CR3 and surface
molecules on parasite• entry is typical phagocytosis• phagosome fuses with lysosome
• survival within phagolysosome• parasite is resistant to hydrolytic
activities• shut down of respiratory burst
(ROI)

4) phagocytosis of amastigotes, or ingestion by vector
5) procyclic promastigotes• replication• attachment to
epithelium
6) metacyclic promastigotes

Lypophosphoglycan (LPG)
• complex glycolipid covering surface of promastigotes
• mediates adherence to gut epithelia• galactose-specific lectin
• LPG changes in metacyclics• cap (galactosearabinose)• increase disaccharide repeats
• glycocalyx 7 17 nm complement resistance

Clinical Spectrum of LeishmaniasisCutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL)
most common form, relatively benign self-healing skin lesions (aka, localized or simple CL)Diffuse Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (DCL)
rare cutaneous infection with non-ulcerating nodules resembling lepromatous leprosy
Leishmaniasis Recivida rare hypersensitive dermal response
Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis (MCL) simple skin lesions that metastasize, especially to nose and mouth region
Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) generalized infection of the reticuloendothelial system, high mortality

Control and Epidemiology
• depends on local transmission
• avoid sandfly bites• bed nets• insecticides• destruction of dog
reservoir• ‘tropica vaccine’
• historical inoculation in covered areas
• risk of recidiva or VL
New World Dermal• zoonosis (arboreal
mammals = reservoir)• lowland forest• occupational
Old World Dermal• urban = dog reservoir• rural = rodent reservoir
Visceral• India (Ld): human-fly-
human• Africa (Ld): rodent
reservoir• others: dogs (with lesions)
are usual reservoir
