Innate Immunity Plays a Key Role in Leishmania Infection: Implications for Vaccine Design

Journal of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2016
Neutrophils are part of the first line of immune response and are essential for resistance against a variety of pathogens. They professionally mediate direct killing of pathogens, recruit other phagocytes by specific chemokines, produce cytokines and ...

Intralesional gene expression profile of JAK-STAT signaling pathway and associated cytokines in Leishmania tropica-infected patients

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundThe JAK-STAT signaling pathway is a central cascade of signal transduction for the myriad of cytokines in which dysregulation has been implicated in progression of inflammatory and infectious diseases.

The recombinant protein rSP03B is a valid antigen for screening dog exposure to Phlebotomus perniciosus across foci of canine leishmaniasis [PDF]

, 2017
The frequency of sandfly-host contacts can be measured by host antibody levels against sandfly salivary proteins. Recombinant salivary proteins are suggested to represent a valid replacement for salivary gland homogenate (SGH); however, it is necessary ...

Ultrastructural expansion microscopy reveals unexpected levels of glycosome heterogeneity in African trypanosomes

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Kinetoplastid parasites include several species. Trypanosoma brucei causes African sleeping sickness in humans and a wasting disease nagana in livestock. Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease and Leishmania species cause leishmaniasis, which can present with visceral, cutaneous, or mucocutaneous symptoms.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of thiazole derivatives as LbSOD inhibitors

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2019
Leishmaniasis is considered as one of the major neglected tropical diseases due to its magnitude and wide geographic distribution. Leishmania braziliensis, responsible for cutaneous leishmaniasis, is the most prevalent species in Brazil.

The epidemiology of canine leishmaniasis: transmission rates estimated from a cohort study in Amazonian Brazil [PDF]

, 1997
We estimate the incidence rate, serological conversion rate and basic case reproduction number (R0) of Leishmania infantum from a cohort study of 126 domestic dogs exposed to natural infection rates over 2 years on Marajó Island, Pará State, Brazil.

Electrophoretic patterns of proteinuria in dogs with Cushing’s syndrome

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives To describe the electrophoretic pattern of proteinuria in dogs with naturally occurring Cushing’s syndrome. We hypothesised that urine protein electrophoresis in dogs with spontaneous Cushing’s syndrome will reveal glomerular proteinuria. We also hypothesised that the severity of proteinuria would decrease during treatment with trilostane ...

Integrated analysis of lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in cutaneous leishmaniasis lesions caused by Leishmania tropica

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
BackgroundCutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), caused by Leishmania (L.) species, remains a neglected tropical disease in many developing countries. We and others have shown that different Leishmania species can alter the gene expression profile of human host ...

Leukocyte Behavior in Mesenteric Microcirculation upon Experimental By Leishmania Spp. in BALB/c Mice

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2021
Background: We aimed to determine the cellular recruitment (leukocyte rolling and adhesion) by which the Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis, L. (Leishmania) amazonensis, and L. (Leishmania) major species in the mesenteric microcirculation of BALB/c mice.
