Veterinary Parasitology, 2013 We evaluated the ability of dogs naturally infected with Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi to transfer the parasite to the vector and the factors associated with transmission. Thirty-eight infected dogs were confirmed to be infected by direct observation of Leishmania in lymph node smears.

Design of primer pairs for species-specific diagnosis of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi using PCR [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2012 The objective of this study was to design and evaluate new primers for species-specific detection of L. infantum chagasi using PCR. Two combinations of primer pairs were established with the aim of obtaining specific amplification products from the L. infantum chagasi 18S rRNA gene.

Topical Resiquimod Protects against Visceral Infection with Leishmania infantum chagasi in Mice [PDF]
Clinical and Vaccine Immunology, 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 ...
