Leishmaniasis, a disease caused by Leishmania parasites, poses a significant health threat globally, particularly in Latin America and Brazil. Leishmania amazonensis is an important species because it is associated with both cutaneous leishmaniasis and an atypical visceral form. Current treatments are hindered by toxicity, resistance, and high cost, driving the need for new therapeutic targets and drugs.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Schinus genus plants have a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in South America. The ethnopharmacological applications of Schinus species include antiseptic, antiplasmodial, antimalarial and antileishmanial properties.
Aim Of The Study: In the present work, we investigated the action of essential oil (EO) against cutaneous leishmaniasis causing agent Leishmania amazonensis in promastigote and amastigote forms as well as cytotoxicity against host cells.

Unlabelled: The study aimed to identify phlebotomine species associated with American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ACL) transmission in Ulianópolis, Brazil, examining their relationship with deforested areas. Using CDC light traps, 1,676 phlebotomine were collected, with a composition of 43% males and 57% females, identifying thirteen species, with and as the most prevalent. Despite the limited clinical relevance of , its substantial prevalence raised concerns regarding potential transmission of spp.

Leishmaniasis is a serious infectious disease caused by Leishmania parasites, predominantly affecting tropical and subtropical regions. These parasites replicate within macrophages, manipulating the host immune response and facilitating infection progression. While long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are known regulators of immune function, their time-dependent roles during Leishmania major infection remain unclear.
