Underlying Risk

Algeria ranks second after Afghanistan for the incidence of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) worldwide. Here, we report a 34-years retrospective analysis of CL in Algeria and focused on the most affected region, the M’Sila province. All 66 cutaneous isolates corresponded to Leishmania (L.) major. Our study of the sandfly and rodent fauna further highlighted the high density of Phlebotomus papatasi and additional phlebotomine species of medical importance, not previously identified in M’Sila. Wild rodents belonging to nine species were trapped in M’Sila, and Psammomys obesus and Meriones shawi were found infected by L. major. In addition, Leishmania infantum was isolated from two visceral leishmaniasis cases, one dog and its proven vectors (P. perniciosus, P. longicuspis, and P. perfiliewi) inventoried during the survey. The high incidence of CL in the M’Sila province is likely a consequence of the increase in minimum temperatures recorded that constitutes suitable conditions for establishing a high endemicity and leads to an explosive rise in leishmaniases cases in this region. A thorough investigation of the underlying risk factors is urgently needed to detect new cases earlier. All these would improve the preparedness to fight the disease.

Group Protein

We hypothesized that exercise training might prevent diabetes mellitus in Psammomys obesus. Animals were assigned to three groups: high-energy diet (CH), high-energy diet and exercise (EH), and low-energy diet (CL). The EH group ran on a treadmill 5 days/wk, twice a day. After 4 wk, 93% of the CH group were diabetic compared with only 20% of the EH group. There was no difference in weight gain among the groups. Both EH and CH groups were hyperinsulinemic. Epididymal fat (% of body weight) was higher in the CH group than in either the EH and or the CL group. Protein kinase C (PKC)-δ activity and serine phosphorylation were higher in the EH group. No differences were found in tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor, insulin receptor substrate-1, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase among the groups. We demonstrate for the first time that exercise training effectively prevents the progression of diabetes mellitus type 2 in Psammomys obesus. PKC-δ may be involved in the adaptive effects of exercise in skeletal muscles that lead to the prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
