Visualisation of Leishmania donovani fluorescent hybrids during early stage development in the sand fly vector. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The Leishmania protozoan parasites cause devastating human diseases. Leishmania have been considered to replicate clonally, without genetic exchange.

Serum Cytokine Responses over the Entire Clinical-Immunological Spectrum of HumanLeishmania (L.) infantum chagasiInfection [PDF]
The clinical-immunological spectrum of humanLeishmania (L.) infantum chagasiinfection in Amazonian Brazil was recently reviewed based on clinical, DTH, and IFAT (IgG) evaluations that identified five profiles: three asymptomatic (asymptomatic infection, AI; subclinical resistant infection, SRI; and indeterminate initial infection, III) and two ...

Molecular approaches for a better understanding of the epidemiology and population genetics of Leishmania. [PDF]
Molecular approaches are being used increasingly for epidemiological studies of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniases. Several molecular markers resolving genetic differences between Leishmania parasites at species and strain levels have been developed to

Comparative analysis of biological aspects of Leishmania infantum strains.
Leishmania infantum infantum (LII) is one of the species that causes visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the Old World, while L. infantum chagasi (LIC) is present in the New World.

Proteophosophoglycans regurgitated by Leishmania-infected sand flies target the L-arginine metabolism of host macrophages to promote parasite survival [PDF]
All natural Leishmania infections start in the skin; however, little is known of the contribution made by the sand fly vector to the earliest events in mammalian infection, especially in inflamed skin that can rapidly kill invading parasites.

Comparative expression profiling of Leishmania: modulation in gene expression between species and in different host genetic backgrounds. [PDF]
Genome sequencing of Leishmania species that give rise to a range of disease phenotypes in the host has revealed highly conserved gene content and synteny across the genus.

Further evidence associating IgG1, but not IgG2, with susceptibility to canine visceral leishmaniasis caused byLeishmania (L.) infantum chagasi-infection [PDF]
We present here a cross-sectional study analyzing the IgG1 and IgG2 immune responses to natural canine Leishmania (L.) infantum chagasi-infection and their relationships with delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) in 50 mongrel dogs with previous positive serodiagnoses (IFAT-IgG) (56% with subclinical status [= apparently healthy] and 44% clinically sick),

Dogs represent the most important domestic reservoir of L. chagasi (syn. L. infantum). A vaccine against canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) would be an important tool for decreasing the anxiety related to possible L.

Preclinical diagnosis of American visceral leishmaniasis during early onset of humanLeishmania (L.) infantum chagasi-infection [PDF]
American visceral leishmaniasis (AVL) is an infectious disease, often with long-duration evolution, caused by Leishmania (L.) infantum chagasi. However, although the disease is considered the major clinical manifestation of the link between L. (L.) i.
