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,

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.

Molecular detection of Leishmania (Sauroleishmania) tarentolae in human blood and Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum in Sergentomyia minuta: unexpected host‐parasite contacts

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2020
The detection of atypical Kinetoplastida in vertebrate hosts and vectors might suggest unexpected host‐parasite contacts. Aside to major vectors of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum in Italy (e.g.

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.).

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

Promastigote infectivity inLeishmania infantum [PDF]

Parasitology Research, 1991
Different clones and subpopulations of clones of Leishmania infantum were analyzed for their infective potential in vitro. Infectivity for macrophage-like cells (P388D1) and the response to a challenge with normal human serum enabled a clear differentiation between infective and non/low-infective populations. The results were confirmed by determination

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.

Susceptibility of Cebus nigrivittatus to Leishmania infantum

The Journal of Parasitology, 1986
is associated with nausea, vomiting, and deafness with tinnitus. Such afflicted individuals cannot walk and have to lie down in bed without turning over. Our observations on the motility of dolphins that were pushed back into the water or captured in a pool indicated a disturbance of equilibrium. Odontoceti suffering from acute octavus neuropathy might

Amplification of the H locus in Leishmania infantum

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 1994
We have selected for a Leishmania infantum cell line resistant to high levels of methotrexate (MTX). The resulting cells were 1233-fold more resistant than wild-type and contained amplified H-region circles. Homologous genes to the antifolate resistant ltdh gene and to the P-glycoprotein ltpgpA gene of Leishmania tarentolae were observed to be ...
