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.

Coagulation status of immune‐mediated polyarthritis in dogs

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objective To describe the coagulation status of dogs with immune‐mediated polyarthritis. Materials and Methods Hospital records at a single referral centre were retrospectively reviewed for dogs diagnosed with immune‐mediated polyarthritis. Cases were classified as hypercoagulable, normocoagulable, hypocoagulable, or hypercoagulable and hypocoagulable ...

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 ...

Steroid‐responsive generalised sterile necrotising pyogranulomatous lymphadenitis in a cat

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
A 1.5‐year‐old neutered male cat was presented with fever, inappetence, lethargy and marked generalised lymphadenopathy of 4 days duration. Excisional biopsy of peripheral lymph nodes revealed necrotising pyogranulomatous lymphadenitis. Extensive investigation failed to identify an underlying infectious [bacterial (Bartonella, Mycobacteria, Mycoplasma,

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 ...

Converting Blastocrithidia Nonstop, a Trypanosomatid With Non‐Canonical Genetic Code, Into a Genetically‐Tractable Model

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Blastocrithidia represents a very small group of species, in which all 3 stop codons are reassigned to encode amino acids with only one of them serving a dual role of a sense and a stop codon simultaneously. Here we demonstrated for the first time that B. nonstop can be genetically modified.

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.

Evolutionary history of Leishmania killicki (synonymous Leishmania tropica) and taxonomic implications [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Leishmania (L.) killicki is responsible for the chronic cutaneous leishmaniasis. The taxonomic status of this parasite is still not well defined. It was suggested on one hand to include this taxon within L.
