Ultrastructural and cytochemical identification of megasome in Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi
Parasitology Research, 2004The present work showed the presence of a megasome in Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi amastigotes. Transmission electron microscopy analysis of ultrathin serial sections and three-dimensional reconstruction allowed visualization of large structures in amastigote forms of L.

Although bats are one of the most abundant mammals in the new world and are present in virtually all ecosystems, including urban and peri-urban environments, few studies have investigated the role of these animals in the epidemiological chain of leishmaniosis.

The promoter for the ribosomal RNA genes of Leishmania chagasi
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1996A promoter for the rRNA genes of Leishmania chagasi was found to be located about 1 kb upstream of the 18S rRNA coding region and immediately downstream of 64 bp tandem repeats. Its approximate boundaries and corresponding transcription start site were determined by transient transfections and primer extension assays. This promoter for RNA polymerase I

Detection of Leishmania (L.) chagasi in canine skin
Veterinary Parasitology, 2011Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is caused by a protozoa parasite of the specie Leishmania (L.) chagasi endemic for humans and dogs in many regions of Brazil. The purpose of the present study was the detection of (L.) chagasi in canine skin tissues from three different groups of clinical signs: asymptomatic, oligosymptomatic and polysymptomatic ...

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.

Apoptosis in amastigotes from hamsters infected with visceral leishmaniasis was absent 30-day post-infection but appeared 90-day post-infection in the liver and spleen, as analysed using the TUNEL method. Necrosis was not present in these tissues and the nuclei of macrophages harbouring apoptotic amastigotes were preserved. Amastigote DNA fragmentation

Asymptomatic human carriers of Leishmania chagasi.
The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2002In Brazil, programs based on elimination of infected dogs have not curtailed the spread of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), suggesting that other reservoirs of infection exist. Persons with active VL can infect the sand fly vector, but in endemic areas, persons with asymptomatic infections, whose infectivity to sand flies is unknown, are far more numerous.

Identification of Leishmania chagasi Antigens Recognized by Human Lymphocytes
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1995Preparative SDS-PAGE followed by electroelution was used to separate proteins of Leishmania chagasi promastigotes into 67 fractions. These fractions were tested for the ability to stimulate proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy immune donors who were treated previously for visceral leishmaniasis and from nonimmune controls ...

Familial Aggregation of Leishmania chagasi Infection in Northeastern Brazil
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1995A sample of 1,604 individuals belonging to 243 nuclear families from an endemic area of visceral leishmaniasis (Jacobina, Bahia State, Brazil) was studied to disclose the intrafamilial pattern of infection. Significant father to offspring, mother to offspring, and sibling to sibling associations, in contrast a with nonsignificant father to mother ...

Biosynthesis of the major surface protease GP63 of Leishmania chagasi
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2002The protozoan Leishmania chagasi expresses a surface metalloprotease, GP63, whose abundance increases 14-fold as parasites grow from logarithmic to stationary phase. L. chagasi GP63 is encoded by three classes of MSP genes that are differentially expressed during parasite growth. Using metabolic labeling and immunoprecipitation, we found L.
