Leishmania infantum in the Himalayas

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1995
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) was first reported in Pakistan over 30 years ago from the remote north-eastern Himalayan region. Sporadic cases are now widely reported from the Northern Areas, part of North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Punjab Province, together with Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK). Two hundred and thirty-nine cases, mostly young children,

Thymoquinone Effect on Leishmania tropica/infantum and Leishmania-Infected Macrophages

Acta Parasitologica, 2023
Leishmania is a parasitic protozoan that tries to enter and amplify within macrophages. Macrophage cells are also immune defense cells that phagocyte many microbes like bacteria, fungi, as well as parasites like Leishmania spp. However, they are unable to kill this parasite that resides in the phagosomes of contaminated macrophages and multiplies in ...

Mucosal Leishmania infantum infection

Parasitology Research, 2011
Mucosal leishmaniasis is a well-known clinical manifestation of infections caused by species belonging to the Leishmania (Viannia) subgenus in Central and South America but not of Leishmania species endemic in the so-called Old World. We report on three cases of mucosal leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum contracted in southern ...

Exoproteome dynamics in Leishmania infantum

Journal of Proteomics, 2013
The exoproteome of Leishmania infantum is composed of parasite derived proteins present in the extracellular environment. Although the exoproteome might have a significant role in the precocious steps of infection little is known concerning its composition.

Visceral Leishmaniasis in Angola Due to Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1994
A 26-year-old man from Angola with no history of travel outside the country presented with typical symptoms of visceral leishmaniasis. The parasite was isolated and biochemically characterized using both kinetoplast DNA and nuclear DNA probes and showed a strong homology with Leishmania (Leishmania) donovani sensu lato (s.l.).

A seroepidemiological survey on Leishmania infantum infection

European Journal of Epidemiology, 1991
Findings from a seroepidemiological survey of Leishmania infantum (LI) infection are presented. Among residents in the province of Rome, 2.7% (4.4% in the city of Rome and 1% in the suburbs) of 374 adults were positive for specific LI antibodies in indirect haemoagglutination studies.

Molecular tracking of infections by Leishmania infantum

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2001
Leishmania infantum is a major opportunistic parasite in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome and is very variable in these subjects. Isoenzyme characterization is not able to explain this variability, since half of the stocks isolated from patients co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus and Leishmania belong to zymodeme MON-1 ...

Leishmania infantum and L. major in Algeria

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1996
Since 1980, the development of leishmaniasis in Algeria has been marked by a considerable increase in the number of cases of both visceral leishmaniasis (1121 cases recorded) and cutaneous leishmaniasis (more than 2000 cases per year). New Leishmania infantum and L. major foci have appeared in the north and south of the country. During this period, 100

Detection of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis and Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi in Brazilian bats

Veterinary Parasitology, 2010
Although bats are one of the most abundant mammals in the new world and are present in virtually all ecosystems, including urban and peri-urban environments, few studies have investigated the role of these animals in the epidemiological chain of leishmaniosis.
