Attempts using cryotherapy to achieve more rapid healing in patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis due to L. braziliensis braziliensis [PDF]

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 1983
The use of cryotherapy as an adjunct to systemic antimonial therapy (Clucantime) was studied in 17 patients with a total of23 skin lesions of leishmaniasis in an area where L. braziliensis braziliensis is the species in circulation. Cryotherapy did not speed healing and has been discarded as an auxiliary therapeutic measure in our practice.

Leishmania braziliensis enhances monocyte responses to promote anti-tumor activity [PDF]

Cell Reports
Summary: Innate immune cells can undergo long-term functional reprogramming after certain infections, a process called trained immunity (TI). Here, we focus on antigens of Leishmania braziliensis, which induced anti-tumor effects via trained immunity in ...

Experimental canine mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis)

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1988
Four mongrel dogs were intradermically inoculated with 3 x 10**6 Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis promastigotes. Three out of the four animals developed cutaneous lesions respectively 4, 7, and 8 months after. The fourth dog did not develop lesion at

Evaluation of the Photodynamic Therapy with Curcumin on L. braziliensis and L. major Amastigotes [PDF]

Antibiotics, 2021
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected disease prevalent in tropical countries with the ability to cause skin lesions. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) represents a specific and topical option for the treatment of these lesions. This study evaluated the response of macrophages infected with L. braziliensis and L. major to PDT with curcumin.

Leishmaniasis in Brazil: IX. Considerations on the Leishmania braziliensis complex:—Importance of sandflies of the genus Psychodopygus (mangabeira) in the transmission of L. braziliensis braziliensis in North Brazil [PDF]

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1973
Abstract At least 3 different parasites may produce cutaneous leishmaniasis in man in Brazil. Leishmania mexicana amazonensis is widely distributed and very common in wild animals, but rarely infects man because the vector is not anthropophilic. L. braziliensis guyanensis and L.

Leishmaniasis in Brazil: XII. Observations on cross-immunity in monkeys and man infected with Leishmania mexicana mexicana, L. m. amazonensis, L. braziliensis braziliensis, L. b. guyanensis and L. b. panamensis.

The Journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 1977
Cross-immunity trials in monkeys (Cebus apella apella) and observations on experimental and natural infections in man confirm the separate identity of L. mexicana mexicana, L. m. amazonensis, L. b. braziliensis, L. b. guyanensis and L. b. panamensis. Neither L. m. mexicana nor L. m.
