Challenges in the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by L. braziliensis in four travelers: a case series

Therapeutic Advances in Infectious Disease
We describe a group of four travelers returning to the United States and Canada who acquired Leishmania braziliensis infection in the Peruvian Amazon. Pentavalent antimonials are the preferred treatment option for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in most endemic countries in Central and South America.

Glycoinositolphospholipids from Leishmania braziliensis and L. infantum: Modulation of Innate Immune System and Variations in Carbohydrate Structure

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012
The essential role of the lipophosphoglycan (LPG) of Leishmania in innate immune response has been extensively reported. However, information about the role of the LPG-related glycoinositolphospholipids (GIPLs) is limited, especially with respect to the New World species of Leishmania.

RAPD method useful for distinguishing Leishmania species: design of specific primers for L. braziliensis

Parasitology, 2003
The technique of Random Amplification Polymorphic DNA allows fragments of the genome to be amplified by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) without previous knowledge of their sequences. The protozoa of the genus Leishmania present great genetic variability, making it difficult to characterize the different species.

Thrichomys laurentius (Rodentia; Echimyidae) as a Putative Reservoir of Leishmania infantum and L. braziliensis: Patterns of Experimental Infection

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
The importance of the genus Thrichomys in the retention of infection and transmission of Leishmania species is supported by previous studies that describe an ancient interaction between caviomorphs and trypanosomatids and report the natural infection of Thrichomys spp.

Antigenic specificity of the 72-kilodalton major surface glycoprotein of Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis

, 1991
We examined the expression and the antigenicity of the major surface polypeptides of Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis and Leishmania donovani chagasi, parasites which commonly coexist in the same endemic areas of Bolivia.

Apoptosis in neutrophils infected with L. braziliensis.

, 2015
Bone-marrow neutrophils were co-cultured with L. braziliensis. After 18h, neutrophils were labeled with Annexin V and DAPI and analyzed by FACS. (A) Representative zebra plots of neutrophils (PMN), neutrophils cultured with L.
