“…It is present in the arthropods, particularly diptera, it serves as the carrier and acquire the infection while feeding on blood of vertebrate host. Upon entering the digestive system of diptera [32], the parasite undergoes a subsequent phase referred to as an amastigote, which is characterized by the absence of flagella [33; 34]. This phase represents a type of parasite that is dependent on living within a host cell and has a size ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 micrometers [35].…”

“…The process by which the host machinery aids the uptake of amastigotes is not fully understood. Nevertheless, it is widely accepted that in human host [32],the amastigotes adhere to Fc receptors and mostly infiltrate macrophages through phagocytosis facilitated by immunoglobulins. Wetzel et al shown that Abl2, a non-receptor tyrosine kinase, facilitates the uptake of L. amazonensis amastigotes by the macrophages [44].…”

OME PARASITES are caused human-animal diseases, the pathogens carring from the animals to the people through the direct and indirect trance. The uncontrolled use of vaccinations and medications, as well as climate change and genetic engineering, have all contributed to the rise of novel diseases passed from animals to people. Leishmania is a parasitic organism that is transmitted by vectors and is capable of surviving exclusively within host cells. Belonging to the Trypanosomatidae family, this organism is accountable for causing many ailments, such as mucocutaneous, cutaneous, and visceral diseases, in both Old and the New World. Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by subspecies that have different clinical manifestations, leading to experts' confusion Parasites cause inflammation, secrete poisonous compounds into tissues. Understanding the pathophysiology of parasites transmitted from animals to people aids in the development of efficient ways for eliminating these parasitic illnesses as well as the development of effective vaccinations for other bacterial infections.
