Real-time PCR to differentiate among Leishmania (Viannia) subgenus, Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum and Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis: Application on Brazilian clinical samples

Acta Tropica, 2020
Leishmaniasis is a complex disease caused by Leishmania species belonging to subgenera Leishmania and Viannia. In South America, L. (L.) infantum is considered the most important causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis, while L. (L.) amazonensis and Viannia subgenus species are responsible for the different cutaneous or mucocutaneous forms.

Leishmania major chromosome 3 contains two long convergent polycistronic gene clusters separated by a tRNA gene [PDF]

, 2003
Leishmania parasites (order Kinetoplastida, family Trypanosomatidae) cause a spectrum of human diseases ranging from asymptomatic to lethal. The approximately 33.6 Mb genome is distributed among 36 chromosome pairs that range in size from approximately 0.

The molecular epidemiology and phylogeography of Trypanosoma cruzi and parallel research on Leishmania: looking back and to the future. [PDF]

, 2009
Trypanosoma cruzi is the protozoan agent of Chagas disease, and the most important parasitic disease in Latin America. Protozoa of the genus Leishmania are global agents of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis, fatal and disfiguring diseases.

Resolution and pro-resolving lipid mediators in Leishmania infection

Journal of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2019
The acute inflammatory response is the body’s natural reaction to inciting stimuli including trauma and pathogens. Well-known pro-inflammatory metabolites take control of this reaction to recruit the leukocytes into the inflamed tissue.

Evaluating the effect of immunization with DNA encoding Phlebotomus sergenti apyrase protein (PsSP42) against Leishmania tropica infection in BALB/c mouse model

Parasites & Vectors
Background Leishmania parasites are transmitted through the bite of infected female sand flies. The sand fly inoculum contains both the parasite and the salivary proteins, which can modulate the immune system’s function.

Morphogenesis Dynamics in Leishmania Differentiation

Pathogens, 2022
Leishmania, the causative agent of leishmaniasis, is an obligatory intracellular parasite that cycles between phagolysosome of mammalian macrophages, where it resides as round intracellular amastigotes, and the midgut of female sandflies, where it ...
