Prevalence of Leishmania spp. infection in domestic dogs in Chapare, Bolivia.

, 2011
Data on Leishmania spp. infection in dogs in Bolivia is scarce. Dogs from an area where 90% of human cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) cases are due to Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis were screened for Leishmania infection using established enzyme-linked ...

Identification of Serine Proteases from Leishmania braziliensis

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 2007
Leishmania (V.) braziliensis is one of the most important ethiologic agents of the two distinct forms of American tegumentary leishmaniasis (cutaneous and mucosal). The drugs of choice used in leishmaniasis therapy are significantly toxic, expensive and are associated with frequent refractory infections.

Evidence of RNA editing in Leishmania braziliensis promastigotes

Parasitology Research, 2010
RNA editing in trypanosomatids is an elaborate form of post-transcriptional processing that inserts and deletes uridines in many mitochondrial pre-mRNAs, providing the genetic information needed to create functional transcripts. The process has been extensively analyzed in Trypanosoma brucei, Crithidia fasciculata, and Leishmania tarentolae.

Modulation of fibroblast behavior by Leishmania: a pathway to understanding disease progression in cutaneous leishmaniasis

BMC Microbiology
Leishmaniasis is a parasitic infection caused by obligatory intracellular protozoa of the Leishmania genus. Macrophages are the main cell for Leishmania parasites that play a key role in immune response against it.
