A sensitive flow cytometric methodology for studying the binding of to canine peritoneal macrophages [PDF]

, 2005
The Leishmania promastigote-macrophage interaction occurs through the association of multiple receptors on the biological membrane surfaces. The success of the parasite infection is dramatically dependent on this early interaction in the vertebrate host,

Reproduction of Leishmania (Leishmania ) infantum chagasi in conditioned cell culture growth medium [PDF]

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2006
Leishmanias can be produced by inoculation in conditioned McCoy cell culture growth medium (CGM). Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi (100 parasites) grown in NNN medium was inoculated in 2.5 mL CGM, kept in plates (24 wells) and its multiplication was observed for five days (120 hours).

Use of elisa employing homologous and heterologous antigens for the detection of IgG and subclasses (IgG1 and IgG2) in the diagnosis of Canine visceral leishmaniasis

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2011
Indirect immunofluorescence is the method recommended for the diagnosis of visceral leishmanisis in dogs, however, the accuracy of this technique is low and its use on a large scale is limited.

IL-12 and IFN-γ in Response to Leishmania Infantum Antigens in Felines From an Endemic Area for Visceral Leishmaniasis. [PDF]

Parasite Immunol
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

Cross-protective immunity to Leishmania amazonensis is mediated by CD4+and CD8+epitopes of Leishmania donovani nucleoside hydrolase terminal domains [PDF]

, 2014
The nucleoside hydrolase (NH) of Leishmania donovani (NH36) is a phylogenetic marker of high homology among Leishmania parasites. in mice and dog vaccination, NH36 induces a CD4+ T cell-driven protective response against Leishmania chagasi infection ...

Evaluation of the Cutaneous Immunological Milieu Before and After Treatment With Meglumine Antimoniate in Dogs Naturally Affected by Leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum

Veterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
Background: Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) is a zoonotic disease of variable severity. The typical immune response is driven by an exaggerated humoral immune response. Protective immunity is mediated by pro‐inflammatory cytokines that enhance macrophage leishmanicidal activity. Objective: To evaluate the cutaneous and the systemic immune responses as well
