- Autochthonous أصيلة : formed or originating in the place where found. Autochthonous Leishmaniasis. Black fever ( darkening of the skin)= Kala azar
- Members of the subfamily Phlebotominae are known outside of the United States by the name sand fly . This subfamily includes numerous genera of blood-feeding ( hematophagous ) flies. The Old World includes Africa , Asia , and Europe (collectively known as Afro-Eurasia ), plus surrounding islands. The term is in distinction from the New World , meaning the Americas and Australasia . Females Haematophagus Males sap feeders
- Leishmaniasis, caused by 20 species of Leishmania and transmitted by 30 species of sand fly, is characterized by diversity and complexity1-4. Most of Leishmania infections are zoonotic and rodents and canids are reservoir host. Only two Leishmania species can maintain anthroponotic, human-human cycle, these species are L. donovani responsible for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Indian subcontinent and east Africa and L. tropica, which is responsible for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in the Old World5. Female sand fly of genus Phlebotomus in the Old World and Lutzomyia in the New World are the only proven vector responsible for transmission of the disease. It occurs in 88 countries in tropical and temperate regions, 72 of them developing or least developed. An estimated 350 millions population is at risk and 10 million people are affected from this disease worldwide1. Two million cases occur annually.
- Female sand flies have piercing mouthparts and subsist on mammalian blood, biting mostly at night.
- Kala azar is an Indian expression means black fever.
- The different species are morphologically indistinguishable, but they can be differentiated by isoenzyme analysis, molecular methods, or monoclonal antibodies.
- nucleus (in red), a kinetoplast (usually perpendicular, in red to violet) and a pale blue cytoplasm.

- VL: The disease is fatal when untreated, with death generally occurring 1 to 2 years after the onset of clinical manifestations. For visceral Leishmaniasis, the pathogenesis is complex. Three species of L. Donovoni cause visceral leishmaniasis: L. donovani, L. infantum, and L. chagasi. Initially, the infection is asymptomatic. If the infection spreads, the severe symptoms of kal-azar disease become increasingly apparent. Once the species causing VL parsitize reticuloendothelial cells (RE), the disease, if left untreated, may result in a 75% to 95% mortality rate within the first two years of infection (Standford refernce). In Brazil, the main vector responsible for the transmission of VL is Lutzomyia longipalpis , a small mosquito of sand-like color (sand fly) with large hairy wings directed backwards and upwards.
- Asia and Africa (primarily Sudan, Kenya and Ethiopia) and can affect people of all ages.

- When an individual is bitten by the sandfly, promastigotes are introduced into the skin and enter small blood vessels and macrophages around the affected area. There, the parasites proflierate as amastigotes. White blood cells, called lymphocytes, then attack the immediate area using white blood cells called lymphocytes and the amastigotes are liberated from the macrophages. A lump then forms and breaks open when the blood flow to the area is compromised. Although the ulcer may become infected, the lesion usually heals as the body builds immunity against the parasite. Once an individual is infected with cutaneous leishmaniasis, it is unlikely that he or she will be re-infected by the same species.Once an individual is infected with cutaneous leishmaniasis, it is unlikely that he or she will be re-infected by the same species. (Standford Reference).
- This rare mucosal involvement may occur if a skin lesion near the mouth or nose is not treated. Hard to confirm diagnosis as few parasites are in the lesion
- Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis is a rare form of the disease that can occur months or years after the healing of a CL ulcer. This form of the disease can affect the nasal septum, palate and other parts of the nasopharynx. cases are focused in South America, especially in Brazil, Paraguay, Ecaudor, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, andVenezuela. Ninety percent of the cases occur in Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru. Twenty percent of leishmaniasis patients in Brazil develop MCL.
- Although the pathogenesis of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis are well understood, the pathogenesis of mucotaneous leishmaniasis (MCL) is still unclear. However, it is believed that host genetic factors are important in the advancement of the disease. MCL development is similar to that of cutaneous leishmaniasis, and the two infections can occur simultaneously. MCL occurs when cutaneous lesions expand to the mucosal region or through metastasis. Moreover, it is not uncommon for MCL to develop many years after the recovery of an initial lesion. The result is a gradual and progressive development of destructive lesions. (standford reference).
- Leishmaniasis is transmitted by the bite of infected female phlebotomine sandflies. The sandflies inject the infective stage (i.e., promastigotes) from their proboscis during blood meals (1). Promastigotes that reach the puncture wound are phagocytized by macrophages (2) and other types of mononuclear phagocytic cells. Progmastigotes transform in these cells into the tissue stage of the parasite (i.e., amastigotes)(3) , which multiply by simple division and proceed to infect other mononuclear phagocytic cells (4) . Parasite, host, and other factors affect whether the infection becomes symptomatic and whether cutaneous or visceral leishmaniasis results. Sandflies become infected by ingesting infected cells during blood meals (5,6). In sandflies, amastigotes transform into promastigotes, develop in the gut (7)(in the hindgut for leishmanial organisms in the Viannia subgenus; in the midgut for organisms in the Leishmania subgenus), and migrate to the proboscis(8) . VL : Hematogenic dissemination to other tissues rich in cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system, such as lymph nodes, liver, spleen and bone marrow is observed
- Complete identification requires the isolation of parasites in culture. Slit skin smears were taken from the most prominent lesions. After cleaning with alcohol, the area was grasped between the thumb and forefinger of the non-dominant hand until the site was blanched. A 5-mm long and 3-mm deep incision was made with Bard Parker No. 15 blade and the sides of the incision scraped to obtain tissue fluid and pulp. A smear was made on a clean glass slide, stained with Leishman stain, and examined under the oil-immersion objective of the microscope.

- They possess a large nucleus, a prominent kinetoplast
