Heterogeneity of Leishmania infantum chagasi Kinetoplast DNA in Teresina (Brazil) [PDF]
The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2010 Leishmania infantum chagasi is the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis of kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) minicircles was used to evaluate genetic profiles of 48 Leishmania infantum chagasi strains from dog and human parasite cultures, fresh collected dog ...

Topical resiquimod protects against visceral infection with Leishmania infantum chagasi in mice. [PDF]
Clin Vaccine Immunol, 2014 ABSTRACTNew prevention and treatment strategies are needed for visceral leishmaniasis, particularly ones that can be deployed simply and inexpensively in areas where leishmaniasis is endemic. Synthetic molecules that activate Toll-like receptor 7 and 8 (TLR7/8) pathways have previously been demonstrated to enhance protection against cutaneous ...

Development of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi in Its Natural Sandfly Vector Lutzomyia longipalpis [PDF]
The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2012 We analyzed the development of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi in its natural sandfly vector Lutzomyia longipalpis. In addition, we compared sandfly infections initiated with axenic amastigotes or promastigotes. Our data showed no important difference between Lu. longipalpis infection rates resulting from either type of infections. Furthermore,

Leishmania infantum chagasi in Northeastern Brazil: Asymptomatic Infection at the Urban Perimeter [PDF]
The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2012 Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is endemic in large cities in Brazil, including Natal. We determined the prevalence of asymptomatic human infection with Leishmania infantum chagasi and associated environmental risks around Natal. Infection was detected by Leishmania skin test (LST) and anti-leishmanial antibodies in humans and anti-leishmanial antibodies ...
