Leishmania braziliensis: Localization of glycoproteins in promastigotes

Experimental Parasitology, 1986
Two species of glycoproteins from Leishmania braziliensis promastigotes of apparent molecular weights of 53,000 (glycoprotein 53) and 47,000 (glycoprotein 47) were localized. Four lectins with different sugar specificities bound to the blotting sheet to which the electrophoretically separated materials were transferred.

The Tree-Buttress Biotope: a Pathobiocenose of Leishmania Braziliensis

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1982
A total of 52,033 sandflies, comprising 33 species, was collected in tree buttresses in Panama. Of the 18,025 females collected, 1,592 (8.8%) engorged phlebotomines of 18 species contained sufficient blood for identification of their vertebrate hosts by the microcapillary precipitin method. Lutzomyia ylephiletor and Lu.

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).

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,

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.

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.
