Effect of mitonafide analogs on topoisomerase II of Leishmania chagasi [PDF]

open access: yesAntimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1996
Mitonafide (4-nitro-benzoisoquinolinedione) and a number of structural analogs were synthesized and studied in order to determine the structural requirements for inhibition of leishmanial nuclear and kinetoplast topoisomerase II and human topoisomerase II.

Competence of the Human Host as a Reservoir forLeishmania chagasi [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2000
The failure of control programs for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) that depend on elimination of infected dogs suggests that other reservoir hosts may participate in the transmission cycle. To determine whether persons infected with Leishmania chagasi can infect the vector sand fly, laboratory-reared Lutzomyia longipalpis were allowed to feed on Brazilian

Cortisol Regulates PD‐1 and IL‐12 in Canine Leishmaniasis

open access: yesParasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CanL) is a tropical zoonosis caused by Brazil's protozoan Leishmania (L.) infantum. Disorders in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis have been reported in human and experimental visceral leishmaniasis, but not yet in canine leishmaniasis.

A piezoelectric immunosensor for Leishmania chagasi antibodies in canine serum [PDF]

open access: yesAnalytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2011
The American visceral leishmaniasis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in Brazil for both humans and dogs. Attempts to make a diagnosis of this disease need to be improved, especially in endemic areas, and in the tracking and screening of asymptomatic dogs, which are their main host in urban areas.
