Lymphadenopathy Associated with Leishmania braziliensis Cutaneous Infection

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1992
Lymph node involvement by Leishmania during human cutaneous leishmaniasis was reported more than 90 years ago, but the importance of certain Leishmania strains in such dissemination remains largely speculative. We have examined 36 consecutively untreated cutaneous leishmaniasis patients early in their disease; 66.7% had enlarged lymph nodes.

Mucosal Disease Caused by Leishmania Braziliensis Guyanensis

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1990
Three Leishmania strains were isolated from cutaneous and mucosal lesions of a Colombian male. These strains, shown to be phenotypically identical based on isoenzyme polymorphisms and monoclonal antibody reactivity, were identified as Leishmania braziliensis guyanensis.

BIOTINYLATED kDNA FROM Leishmania braziliensis

1989
The lesions caused by the Leishmania braziliensis complex begin as a cutaneous lesion. In some cases, as those produced by L. braziliensis braziliensis. the lesion very often progresses towards destruction of mucouse tissues. In the Amazonian jungle, an area endemic for mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis it is common that people, specially new settlers ...

Epidemiology of American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Due to Leishmania braziliensis brasiliensis

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1987
A five-year prospective study of cutaneous leishmaniasis in an endemic area of Brazil revealed an annual incidence of disease of 8.1 per 1000 inhabitants and a prevalence of 14.9%. The disease fluctuated as a series of mini-epidemics. Most disease occurred in individuals who were 10-30 years of age.

Leishmania braziliensis and Leishmania mexicana: Experimental cutaneous infections in golden hamsters

Experimental Parasitology, 1979
Abstract The effect of certain inoculation conditions on the incubation period and development of cutaneous Leishmania braziliensis and Leishmania mexicana lesions was determined in golden hamsters infected in multiple sites. These conditions included: use of the nose, ear, forepaw, and flank as sites of inoculation; use of the intradermal and ...

Recovery of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis from Inoculated Hamsters

The Journal of Parasitology, 1988
Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis has never been isolated from wild animals although it is apparently capable of inducing infections in man, dogs, and donkeys. An analysis of the standard hamster culture system for analyzing infectivity of Leishmania sp. was undertaken. Results indicate that for L.

Leishmania braziliensis Isolated from Sloths in Panama

Science, 1969
Two edentates, the two-toed sloth Choloepus hoffmanni and the three-toed sloth Bradypus infuscatus , infected with Leishmania were found in Panama. The rates of infection were 14.1 and 1.3 percent in Choloepus and Bradypus

Cysteine proteinases from promastigotes of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis

Parasitology Research, 2009
Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis is the major causative agent of American tegumentary leishmaniasis, a disease that has a wide geographical distribution and is a severe public health problem. The cysteine proteinase B (CPB) from Leishmania spp. represents an important virulence factor. In this study, we characterized and localized cysteine proteinases

Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis in Colombia: Leishmania Braziliensis Subspecies Diversity

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1985
It is generally held that with rare exception Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis is the parasite responsible for the metastatic development of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis in the New World. Yet the infrequency of mucocutaneous disease compared with cutaneous manifestations, and the difficulty of isolating parasites from mucocutaneous lesions have ...
