Comparative proteomic analysis of antimony-resistant and -susceptible Leishmania braziliensis and Leishmania infantum chagasi lines

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2013
The emergence of drug-resistant Leishmania species is a significant problem in several countries. A comparative proteomic analysis of antimony-susceptible and antimony-resistant Leishmania braziliensis (LbSbR) and Leishmania infantum chagasi (LcSbR) lines was carried out using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) followed by mass spectrometry (LC/

Visceral leishmaniasis with cutaneous involvement caused by Leishmania infantum-chagasi

IDCases, 2018
We report the case of a 66 year-old woman who presented nodular skin lesions on her back and upper extremities. Biopsy revealed amastigotes that were identified as Leishmania infantum-chagasi by PCR.

Assessment of Leishmania exposure in blood donors from a non-endemic urban area: A study in São Paulo. [PDF]

Vox Sang
Abstract Background and Objectives According to the World Health Organization, more than 1 billion people are at risk of leishmaniasis in over 89 countries. Environmental changes such as deforestation, urban expansion and climate change facilitate the spread of sand fly vectors and reservoirs, increasing disease transmission.

Cortisol Regulates PD-1 and IL-12 in Canine Leishmaniasis. [PDF]

Parasite Immunol
ABSTRACT Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CanL) is a tropical zoonosis caused by Brazil's protozoan Leishmania (L.) infantum. Disorders in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis have been reported in human and experimental visceral leishmaniasis, but not yet in canine leishmaniasis.

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).

Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Mimicking a Nasal Tumor: A Case Report. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis
Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by Leishmania protozoa that is transmitted to the patient by sand flies. Depending on the Leishmania species, the disease can present with cutaneous, mucosal, or multiorgan involvement. Cutaneous leishmaniasis can present with diverse clinical manifestations mimicking other diseases.

Imidazolium salts as an alternative for anti-Leishmania drugs: Oxidative and immunomodulatory activities

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
In this study we explored the previously established leishmanicidal activity of a complementary set of 24 imidazolium salts (IS), 1-hexadecylimidazole (C16Im) and 1-hexadecylpyridinium chloride (C16PyrCl) against Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis and ...

IL-12 and IFN-γ in Response to Leishmania Infantum Antigens in Felines From an Endemic Area for Visceral Leishmaniasis. [PDF]

Parasite Immunol
ABSTRACT Visceral leishmaniasis is a potentially fatal zoonosis with an increasing incidence. Most infected felines present the disease in its subclinical form and demonstrate greater resistance to parasitemia than dogs. However, the role of cellular immunity in felines is still poorly understood. This study measured serum levels of interleukin (IL)‐12
