Attenuation of Leishmania infantum chagasi metacyclic promastigotes by sterol depletion. [PDF]

Infect Immun, 2013
ABSTRACTThe infectious metacyclic promastigotes ofLeishmaniaprotozoa establish infection in a mammalian host after they are deposited into the dermis by a sand fly vector. SeveralLeishmaniavirulence factors promote infection, including the glycosylphosphatidylinositol membrane-anchored major surface protease (MSP).

Infectivity studies of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi isolated from non-ulcerated cutaneous leishmaniasis. [PDF]

Rev Inst Med Trop Sao Paulo
ABSTRACT In Honduras, Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi, the etiological agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), is responsible for non-ulcerated cutaneous leishmaniasis (NUCL). We characterized NUCL and VL Honduran strains to understand intraspecies infectivity. Based on in-vitro assays, we aimed to elucidate certain host-parasite interactions in

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).
