Leishmania infantum and Leishmania braziliensis : differences and similarities to evade the innate immune system [PDF]
Visceral leishmaniasis is a severe form of the disease, caused by Leishmania infantum in the New World. Patients present an anergic immune response that favors parasite establishment and spreading through tissues like bone marrow and liver.

Variabilidad de Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum en España [PDF]
En este trabajo nos planteamos como objetivo principal estudiar la variabilidad de Leishmania (leishmania) infantum y las implicaciones de la misma en la epidemiología de la leishmaniosis en España. Dada la importancia que la asociación lv/vih tiene en nuestro país y con el fin de determinar si los parásitos aislados en esta asociación comparten las ...

Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis and Leishmania infantum (=Leishmania chagasi) are protozoa that cause American cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis, respectively. These diseases show a high incidence in developing countries such as Brazil. The treatments used for leishmaniasis are still limited due to their high cost and toxicity.
