High seropositivity against NDO-LID in a group of household contacts of leprosy patients. Are we close to leprosy elimination in Colombia?
CONCLUSION: Leprosy transmission is still active between Colombian HHC. Consequently, controlling leprosy transmission in this population is fundamental to eradicating this disease.PMID:37231779 | DOI:10.1080/20477724.2023.2217405 (Source: Pathogens and Global Health)

A novel outlook in the delivery of artemisinin: production and efficacy in experimental visceral leishmaniasis
Pathog Glob Health. 2023 May 15:1-7. doi: 10.1080/20477724.2023.2212347. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe visceral form of leishmaniasis (VL), due to infection by Leishmania infantum, is a neglected tropical disease. The accessible therapeutic options are limited. Artemisinin is an efficient antileishmanial product with poor biological availability that requires high repetition of therapeutic doses in VL. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) provide targeted delivery, increase bioavailability and reduce toxicity of the traditional therapeutic strategy. The spherical shape artemisinin-loaded SLNs were prepared in a particle di...
