Genus: Leishmania

Sand fly

General characters of genus Leishmania Life cycle is indirect and completed in tow hosts, vertebrate (human, dog, rodent) as a final host and invertebrate ; blood sucking insect (female of sand fly) as an intermediate host (vector). Tow developmental forms, amastigote and promastigote. Amastigote in the final host (human) and promastigote in the vector (sand fly). The vector is sand fly of genus Phlebotomus (Lutzomyia). Promastigote is the infective stage to final host (man) and amastigote is infective stage to sand fly (vector). infects the reticuloendothelial cells of skin, mucus membrane or viscera. multiply by binary fission (asexual).

Cutaneous leishmaniasis L. tropica complex :- 1-L. tropica 2-L. major 3-L. aethiopica

L. Tropica (L. tropica minor) dry sore or urban cutaneous leishmaniasis Produce chronic disease, that if not treated, lasts for year or longer. with 2month – 3year incubation period It is characterized by the production of dry lesions that ulcerate only after several months Lesions are usually single and occur primarily on the face. It is found in urban areas. It is found around the Mediterranean basin and in Asia Minor, Afghanistan, India and Kenya. The dog may be a natural host, but it is not thought to be an effective reservoir for humans.

L. Major (L. tropica major) wet sore or rural cutaneous leishmaniasis Produce an acute infection with duration of 3-6 months. With as little as 2 weeks incubation period. The lesions occur primarily on the lower limb. The lesions are moist and tend to ulcerate very early. There may be secondary or satellite lesions. L. major occurs in Asia Minor, middle east (Iran, Syria, Palestine and Jordan) and in north and middle Africa. It is primarily a disease of rural areas. Reservoir hosts (Rodents) are important source of human infection.

Symptoms

- Pathogenesis -Resistance to re-infection -Mode of transmission Insect bite: a main mode of transmission (vector born transmission). Blood transfusion: a rare mode of transmission.

Diagnosis 1-Usually made in endemic areas on clinical grounds 2-Microscopic detection of amastigotes (L.D. bodies). 3-Culture: on NNN (Novy-MacNeal-Nicolle) media or other media. 4-Animal inoculation: 5-Leishmanin skin test (Montenegro test). 6-Immunological test (serology): Antibody detection. 7-Molecular diagnosis: PCR.
