T Cell Response of Asymptomatic Leishmania chagasi Infected Subjects to Recombinant Leishmania Antigens [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1999
In areas of Leishmania chagasi transmission the ability to control leishmania infection is associated with IFN-g production. In visceral leishmaniasis down-regulation of T cell responses is mediated by interleukin-10 (IL-10).

Infectivity studies of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi isolated from non-ulcerated cutaneous leishmaniasis. [PDF]

Rev Inst Med Trop Sao Paulo
ABSTRACT In Honduras, Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi, the etiological agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), is responsible for non-ulcerated cutaneous leishmaniasis (NUCL). We characterized NUCL and VL Honduran strains to understand intraspecies infectivity. Based on in-vitro assays, we aimed to elucidate certain host-parasite interactions in
