“…R. rattus has previously been found to be naturally infected and L. (V.) braziliensis in several places around the world such as Brazil (ALENCAR et al, 1960;BRANDÃO-FILHO et al, 2003;SVOBODOVÁ et al, 2003;OLIVEIRA et al, 2005;QUARESMA et al, 2011;LIMA et al, 2013) and other countries (LIMA et al, 2002;ZULUETA et al, 1999;DAVAMI et al, 2013;EL ADHAMI, 1976;IBRAHIM et al, 1992;POZIO et al, 1981;DI BELLA et al, 2003;ZANET et al, 2014;NAVEA-PÉREZ et al, 2015;VLADIMIR et al, 2015 andSINGH et al, 2013). As in this work, other studies have found rats captured in the same place with more than one Leishmania species: Lima et al (2002) found L. (SILVEIRA et al, 1990).…”

Leishmania in synanthropic rodents (Rattus rattus):new evidence for the urbanization of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis AbstractThis study aimed to detect parasites from Leishmania genus, to determine the prevalence of anti-Leishmania spp. antibodies, to identify circulating species of the parasite, and to determine epidemiological variables associated with infection in rats caught in urban area of Londrina, Paraná, Brazil. Animal capture was carried out from May to December 2006, serological and molecular methods were performed. DNA was extracted from total blood, and nested-PCR, targeting SSu rRNA from Leishmania genus, was performed in triplicate. The positive samples were sequenced twice by Sanger method to species determination. In total, 181 rodents were captured, all were identified as Rattus rattus and none showed clinical alterations. Forty-one of the 176 (23.3%) animals were positive for Leishmania by ELISA and 6/181 (3.3%) were positive by IFAT. Nine of 127 tested animals (7.1%) were positive by PCR; seven were identified as L.

“…major has an overlapping distribution with endemic foci of VL throughout the world (WHO 2010). In addition, leptomonad infection of this species was reported in Iran and Algeria (Pozio et al 1981, Sahabi et al 1992, Azizi et al 2008, Emami and Yazdi 2008). The species has a complex taxonomy from its initial description by Annandale (1910), who considered it as the Himalayan form of P. argentipes .…”

Populations of Phlebotomus major were examined in two endemic and nonendemic foci of visceral leishmaniasis in Iran. Based on the shape of the aedeagus and ventrally located hairs of coxite and pharyngeal armatures, two morphotypes were found sympatrically in the endemic area of Borazjan. Significant differences in morphometric survey were observed in at least 11 measured characters. The aedeagus of the non-endemic Miyandoab morphotype, and also of a few specimens from Borazjan, is completely parallel throughout its length with a slightly expanded end. Ventrally located hairs of the middle coxite were longer and more compact. It is close morphologically to P. major neglectus (P. neglectus), which was recently recorded from Iran. It is also morphologically similar to P. notus, which has not yet been reported from Iran and needs further investigation. The aedeagus of the morphotype occurring only in Borazjan is narrower in the middle and the hairs are closer to the base of the coxite and are shorter and more outspread, which makes it similar to P. major krimensis or P. neglectus. The two morphotypes occurring sympatrically in Borazjan do not appear to be subspecies and it may be premature to propose them as separate species. Further investigation is needed to clarify the actual status of P. major s. l. in Iran.

“…Na Arábia Saudita, Itália e Espanha R. rattus é considerado o principal reservatório de L. infantum (GRADONI et al, 1983;AGRIMI;MANTOVANI, 1995) BETTINI et al, 1978;BETTINI et al, 1980;POZZIO et al, 1981;GRAMICCIA et al, 1982;GRADONI et al, 1983;IBRAHIM et al, 1992;DI BELLA et al, 2003), embora até o momento, está espécie de roedor tenha sido descrita parasitada apenas por L. (L.) infantum (ZULUETA et al, 1999;OLIVEIRA et al, 2005).…”
