Enhanced Detection of Leishmania Parasites in Microscopic Images Using Machine Learning Models.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease that poses significant diagnostic challenges due to the variability of results and reliance on operator expertise. This study addresses the development of a system based on machine learning algorithms to...

Integrating traditional QSAR and read-across-based regression models for predicting potential anti-leishmanial azole compounds.

Molecular diversity
Leishmaniasis, a neglected tropical disease caused by various Leishmania species, poses a significant global health challenge, especially in resource-limited regions. Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) stands out among its severe manifestations, and current...

Approved drugs successfully repurposed against based on machine learning predictions.

Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology
Drug repurposing is a promising approach towards the discovery of novel treatments against Neglected Tropical Diseases, such as Leishmaniases, presenting the advantage of reducing both costs and duration of the drug discovery process. In previous wor...

Using machine learning to dissect host kinases required for Leishmania internalization and development.

Molecular and biochemical parasitology
The Leishmania life cycle alternates between promastigotes, found in the sandfly, and amastigotes, found in mammals. When an infected sandfly bites a host, promastigotes are engulfed by phagocytes (i.e., neutrophils, dendritic cells, and macrophages)...

DeepLeish: a deep learning based support system for the detection of Leishmaniasis parasite from Giemsa-stained microscope images.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Leishmaniasis is a vector-born neglected parasitic disease belonging to the genus Leishmania. Out of the 30 Leishmania species, 21 species cause human infection that affect the skin and the internal organs. Around, 700,000 to 1,000,000 of...

A deep learning-based model for detecting Leishmania amastigotes in microscopic slides: a new approach to telemedicine.

BMC infectious diseases
BACKGROUND: Leishmaniasis, an illness caused by protozoa, accounts for a substantial number of human fatalities globally, thereby emerging as one of the most fatal parasitic diseases. The conventional methods employed for detecting the Leishmania par...

Scoping Review of Deep Learning Techniques for Diagnosis, Drug Discovery, and Vaccine Development in Leishmaniasis.

Transboundary and emerging diseases
, a single-cell parasite prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, can cause varying degrees of leishmaniasis, ranging from self-limiting skin lesions to potentially fatal visceral complications. As such, the parasite has been the subj...

Antileishmanial activity of novel indolyl-coumarin hybrids: Design, synthesis, biological evaluation, molecular docking study and in silico ADME prediction.

Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters
In present work we have designed and synthesized total twelve novel 3-(3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-3-phenylpropanoyl)-4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one derivatives 13(a-l) using Ho(3+) doped CoFe2O4 nanoparticles as catalyst and evaluated for their potential antileis...

Application of Machine Learning (ML) approach in discovery of novel drug targets against Leishmania: A computational based approach.

Computational biology and chemistry
Molecules with potent anti-leishmanial activity play a crucial role in identifying treatments for leishmaniasis and aiding in the design of novel drugs to combat the disease, ultimately protecting individuals and populations. Various methods have bee...

A new diagnostic method and tool for cutaneous leishmaniasis based on artificial intelligence techniques.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a parasitic disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania, leading to significant morbidity in endemic regions. While effective, traditional diagnostic methods often suffer from limitations ...
