Lymphatic Endothelial Cell in Endemic Bancroftian Filariasis: A Focus on the Lymphatics of the Tunica Vaginalis Testis

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Background. In endemic areas, lymphangiectasia is the fundamental alteration to live Wuchereria bancrofti adult worms which, in adult males, are usually found in the lymphatic vessels of the spermatic cord; accordingly, hydrocele/filaricele is the most common clinical manifestation of bancroftian filariasis.

Exploring the Association of Surface Plasmon Resonance with Recombinant MHC:Ig Hybrid Protein as a Tool for Detecting T Lymphocytes in Mice Infected with Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis

BioMed Research International, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
A surface plasmon resonance‐ (SPR‐) based recognition method applying H‐2 Ld:Ig/peptides complexes for ex vivo monitoring cellular immune responses during murine infection with Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis is described. Lymphocytes from lesion‐draining popliteal lymph nodes were captured on a carboxylated sensor chip surface previously ...

Evidence for Tissue Toxicity in BALB/c Exposed to a Long‐Term Treatment with Oxiranes Compared to Meglumine Antimoniate

BioMed Research International, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Leishmaniasis remains a serious public health problem in developing countries without effective control, whether by vaccination or chemotherapy. Part of the failure of leishmaniasis control is due to the lack of new less toxic and more effective drugs able to eliminate both the lesions and the parasite.

Canine Leishmaniasis in Brazil: Serological Follow‐Up of a Dog Population in an Endemic Area of American Visceral Leishmaniasis

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009
We performed a serological, clinical, and parasitological follow‐up of a dog population in an endemic area of American Visceral Leishmaniasis estimated by indirect immunofluorescent assay (IFA) and western blot (WB). After twelve months, the results obtained from IFA demonstrated that 50% were seropositive and two serological profiles were observed ...
