Characteristics of “Tip-DCs and MDSCs” and their potential role in leishmaniasis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Since the first description of dendritic cells (DCs) by Steinman and Cohn (1973), the myeloid lineage of leukocytes was investigated intensively. Nowadays it is obvious that myeloid cells, especially DCs, are crucial for the adaptive and innate immune ...

Atypical Manifestations of Old World Cutaneous Leishmaniasis: A Systematic Review and Clinical Atlas of Unusual Clinical and Specific Anatomical Presentations

open access: yesHealth Science Reports
Background and Aims Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) represents the most common form of leishmaniasis. It imposes a significant medical burden due to long‐lasting ulcers and disfiguring scars, underscoring the need for comprehensive CL control strategies ...

Local suppression of T cell responses by arginase-induced L-arginine depletion in nonhealing leishmaniasis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The balance between T helper (Th) 1 and Th2 cell responses is a major determinant of the outcome of experimental leishmaniasis, but polarized Th1 or Th2 responses are not sufficient to account for healing or nonhealing.

Are insecticide-impregnated dog collars a feasible alternative to dog culling as a strategy for controlling canine visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In a zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis (ZVL)-endemic area in Brazil, deltamethrin-impregnated collars (DMC) were fitted to 136 dogs for 5 months and significantly reduced the odds of increasing their anti-Leishmania antibody titer during this period by 50%

Altered miRNA expression in the lesions of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by L. major and L. tropica with insights into apoptosis regulation

open access: yesScientific Reports
Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne infectious disease that affects many subtropical countries. Leishmania (L.) major and L. tropica are among the old-world causative agents and cause cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL).

Immunity and immunosuppression in experimental visceral leishmaniasis

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2004
Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania, and visceral leishmaniasis is a form in which the inner organs are affected. Since knowledge about immunity in experimental visceral leishmaniasis is poor, we present here a review on

Cytokine profile and pathology in human leishmaniasis

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
The clinical spectrum of leishmaniasis and control of the infection are influenced by the parasite-host relationship. The role of cellular immune responses of the Th1 type in the protection against disease in experimental and human leishmaniasis is well ...
