Effectiveness of liposomal buparvaquone in an experimental hamster model of Leishmania (L.) infantum chagasi

Experimental Parasitology, 2012
The objective of this study was to develop a novel liposomal formulation, containing phosphatidylserine (PS), of buparvaquone (BPQ) and to evaluate its in vivo effectiveness in Leishmania (L.) infantum chagasi-infected hamsters. The activity of BPQ was evaluated against both the promastigote forms of different Leishmania species and the intracellular ...

In situ cellular immune response in non-ulcerated skin lesions due to Leishmania (L.) infantum chagasi infection

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2021
Background Skin lesions of patients affected by non-ulcerated cutaneous leishmaniasis (NUCL) caused by L. (L.) infantum chagasi are characterized by lymphohistiocytic inflammatory infiltrate associated with epithelioid granuloma and scarce parasitism. However, the in situ cellular immune response of these patients is unclear. Therefore, the aim of the
