Leishmania braziliensis (Vianna 1911)

1995
Members of the Leishmania braziliensis complex cause both a cutaneous and mucocutaneous form of leishmaniasis. Its vectors are sandflies of the genus Lutzomyia. The infection is widely distributed throughout Central and South America. The major members of this complex include L. braziliensis (Brazil and Venezuela), L. guyanensis (northern Amazon Basin,

A survey of Leishmania braziliensis genome by shotgun sequencing

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2004
We have carried out a survey of the genome of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis by shotgun sequencing. Approximately 15% of the haploid genome of the parasite (5.15 Mb of genomic sequence) was obtained. A large number of known and putative genes, predicted to be involved in several cellular processes, were identified.

Experimental Inoculation of Panamanian Mammals with Leishmania braziliensis

The Journal of Parasitology, 1965
Attempts to infect native Panamanian mammals with culture forms of local human strains of Leishmania braziliensis produced cutaneous infections for the first time in the spiny rat (Proechimys semispinosus), white-tailed tree rat (Tylomys panamensis), kinkajou (Potos flavus), and olingo (Bassaricyon gabbii).

Antileishmanial Activity of Azitahromycin Against Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis, Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis, and Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2008
Azithromycin, an azalide antibiotic, is highly concentrated within different phagocytic cells, especially macrophages. The potential antileishmanial activity of azithromycin against three species of Leishmania from the New World was assessed using in vitro models.

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.

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.

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.

Leishmania braziliensis: Physical and chemical stress in hamsters

Experimental Parasitology, 1971
Abstract Eighty hamsters were inoculated via the skin of the nose with promastigotes of Leishmania braziliensis. Sixty, in groups of 10, were subjected to crowding, swimming, restraint, and to injections of dexamethasone and of ethylene glycol. Twenty were kept as controls.
