2. The rough journey to access health care : the case of leishmaniasis in the Bolivian rainforest
Sammanfattning : Background: Leishmaniasis is a parasitic infectious disease transmitted by vectors that cause three main clinical syndromes: cutaneous (CL), mucosal (ML), and visceral (VL). Since VL is not relevant to this thesis, only CL and ML will be further discussed. LÄS MER
3. Dysregulation of receptor induced apoptosis during human leishmaniasis : a possible mechanism of skin ulceration
Sammanfattning : Leishmaniasis is endemic in 88 countries and 12 million people per year have been estimated to be at risk of infection. The causative agent, the protozoan Leishmania, is spread by sand-flies and infects macrophages in the mammalian host. Leishmaniasis in humans form a spectrum of clinical presentations. In cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) caused by L. LÄS MER

First, temporal trends, geographical distribution and spatial pattern of cardiovascular disease admission rates were explored on a national level in Sweden. LÄS MER
5. Leishmania donovani Lipophosphoglycan : Modulation of Macrophage and Dendritic Cell Function
Sammanfattning : Leishmania donovani is a blood-borne tropicial parasite, which infects humans through bites by Phlebotomus sandflies. The parasite survives and multiplies inside macrophages in inner organs, and causes the deadly disease visceral leishmaniasis (Kala-Azar). LÄS MER
