What determines the success or failure of intracellular cutaneous parasites? Lessons learned from leishmaniasis

Abstract: Most parasitic skin infections are averted by very efficient strategies of preventing pathogen invasion. Innate immune cells such as mast cells, macrophages and dendritic cells are responsible for detecting parasites and for recruiting proinflammatory cells that help to contain and control the pathogen at sites of infection. This induces efficient adaptive immunity, which is crucially important for parasite control. Using the example of cutaneous leishmaniasis, we highlight how the skin utilizes different stra… Show more

“…As fêmeas do gênero Lutzomyia medem de 2 a 3 milímetros e são os vetores responsáveis pela transmissão da doença. Este mosquito possui hábitos vespertinos e matutinos, períodos em que apresenta maior atividade (MAURER, DONDJI, STEBUT, 2009;PAILA, SAHA, CHATTOPADHYAY, 2010;ROMERO, BOELAERT, 2010;SEN, CHATTERJEE, 2011;NAGILL, KAUR, 2011;DUTCHIE et al, 2012).…”

“…A população suscetível é constituída, principalmente, de trabalhadores empenhados em obras de desbravamento, como a abertura de estradas, derrubadas para o aproveitamento agrícola do solo e outras finalidades, bem como de lenhadores, caçadores, garimpeiros, entre outros. Estão sujeitos ao mesmo risco os moradores destas regiões e um grupo em expansão tem sido os viajantes em busca do turismo ecológico, pois com o aumento das viagens internacionais, a leishmaniose está sendo transportada para áreas onde não se manifestava anteriormente (RANG, DALE, RITTER, 2001;MAURER, DONDJI, STEBUT, 2009;NAGILL, KAUR, 2011).…”
