Genome-wide quantification of polycistronic transcription in Leishmania major
Leishmania major is a human-pathogenic, obligate parasite and the etiological agent of the most prevalent, cutaneous form of leishmaniasis, which is an important neglected, tropical disease with ~1.2 million new infections per year.

Characterization of oxidative stress in Leishmaniasis-infected or LPS-stimulated macrophages using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy [PDF]
The physiological changes caused by external stimuli can be employed as parameters to study pathogen infection in cells and the effect of drugs. Among analytical methods, impedance is potentially useful to give insight into cellular behavior by studying ...

Determining Leishmania Infection Levels by Automatic Analysis of Microscopy Images [PDF]
Analysis of microscopy images is one important tool in many fields of biomedical research, as it allows the quantification of a multitude of parameters at the cellular level. However, manual counting of these images is both tiring and unreliable and ultimately very time-consuming for biomedical researchers.

Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis and Leishmania infantum (=Leishmania chagasi) are protozoa that cause American cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis, respectively. These diseases show a high incidence in developing countries such as Brazil. The treatments used for leishmaniasis are still limited due to their high cost and toxicity.

Leishmaniasis in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A National Multicenter Study of GETECCU
ABSTRACT Background Leishmaniasis (LI) is a vector‐borne illness caused by a protozoan of the genus Leishmania. Data on the features of LI in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are scarce. Aim To describe the characteristics of patients with IBD who present with leishmaniasis, infection outcomes and the risk factors associated with ...

Susceptibility of spiny rats (Proechimys semispinosus) to Leishmania (Viannia) panamensis and Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi [PDF]
The role of Proechimys semispinosus as reservoir of Leishmania (Viannia) panamensis on the Colombian Pacific coast was experimentally evaluated. The susceptibility to L. chagasi also was assessed to determine the utility of this rodent as a model for studying reservoir characteristics in the laboratory.
