“…The geographic expansion of canine leishmaniosis (CanL) has been linked to global environmental changes that have affected the density and the distribution of its sand fly vectors. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: In this study, a cross-sectional epidemiological survey on CanL was carried out in 8 localities in 8 bioclimatic areas of Tunisia. …”

“…This research used aluminum silicate precursors, such as low-calcium fly ash, slag, and micros silica, alkali activators, such as NaOH pellets and Na(2)SiO(3).5H(2)O, and standardized sand. The alkaline activators were first dissolved in water using a water bath shaker to achieve the alkaline solution. …”

“…Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne parasitic disease transmitted through the bite of a sand fly with no available vaccine for humans. Recently, we have developed a live attenuated Leishmania major centrin gene-deleted parasite strain (LmCen(-/-) ) that induced protection against homologous and heterologous challenges. …”
