First molecular detection of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi in a domestic cat (Felis catus) from an urban area in eastern Amazon [PDF]
Background: Domestic cats have been implicated as accidental hosts of Leishmania sp. However, in recent years, the recurrent description of new cases in endemic and nonendemic areas draw attention to the potential epidemiological role of cats as ...

Response of Leishmania chagasi promastigotes to oxidant stress [PDF]
At the onset of infection, Leishmania promastigotes are phagocytized by mammalian macrophages. They must survive despite exposure to toxic oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide (.O2-) generated during phagocytosis. We investigated the effects of these oxidants on Leishmania chagasi promastigotes and promastigote mechanisms for ...

In Vitro Screening Test Using Leishmania Promastigotes Stably Expressing mCherry Protein [PDF]
Transgenic Leishmania major and Leishmania donovani axenic promastigotes constitutively expressing mCherry were used for in vitro antileishmanial drug screening. This method requires minimal sample manipulation and can be easily adapted to automatic drug

Tissue Cytokine Responses in Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis [PDF]
To elucidate the local tissue cytokine response of dogs infected with Leishmania chagasi, cytokine mRNA levels were measured in bone marrow aspirates from 27 naturally infected dogs from Brazil and were compared with those from 5 uninfected control ...

IL-12 and IFN-γ in Response to Leishmania Infantum Antigens in Felines From an Endemic Area for Visceral Leishmaniasis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Visceral leishmaniasis is a potentially fatal zoonosis with an increasing incidence. Most infected felines present the disease in its subclinical form and demonstrate greater resistance to parasitemia than dogs. However, the role of cellular immunity in felines is still poorly understood. This study measured serum levels of interleukin (IL)‐12
