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.

Attenuation of Leishmania infantum chagasi Metacyclic Promastigotes by Sterol Depletion [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2013
ABSTRACTThe infectious metacyclic promastigotes ofLeishmaniaprotozoa establish infection in a mammalian host after they are deposited into the dermis by a sand fly vector. SeveralLeishmaniavirulence factors promote infection, including the glycosylphosphatidylinositol membrane-anchored major surface protease (MSP).

Field ecology of sylvatic Rhodnius populations (Heteroptera, Triatominae): risk factors for palm tree infestation in western Ecuador. [PDF]

, 2005
Most Rhodnius species (Triatominae) are primarily associated with palm trees. They maintain enzootic Trypanosoma cruzi transmission and are responsible for human infection (causing Chagas disease) through the Neotropics. Assessing whether individual palm

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 ...
