Leishmania major, the Predominant Leishmania Species Responsible for Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Mali [PDF]

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2013
Leishmania major is the only species of Leishmania known to cause cutaneous leishmanisis (CL) in Mali. We amplified Leishmania DNA stored on archived Giemsa-stained dermal scraping slides obtained from self-referral patients with clinically suspected CL seen in the Center National d'Appui A La Lutte Contre La Maladie (CNAM) in Bamako, Mali, to ...

Comparative Gene Expression Profiles of Leishmania major and Leishmania infantum Promastigotesa

Turkiye parazitolojii dergisi, 2021
This study aimed to determine the differences between the gene expression profiles of Leismania major and Leishmania infantum promastigotes through comparative analysis of gene expressions.Cell culture of L. major (MHOM/IL/80) and L. infantum (MHOM/MA/67/ITMAP/263) cell lines was performed.

Changes in the Epidemiology of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Northeastern Iran

Türkiye Parazitoloji Dergisi, 2020
The province of Khorasan-Razavi in the North East of Iran is an endemic area for anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL caused mainly by Leishmania tropica) and zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL caused mainly by Leishmania major).

Gelatin Zymography of Major Proteases in Exosomes of Leishmania major Promastigotes

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2023
Background: Enzymatic digestion of extra cellular matrix proteins by proteinases of   Leishmania promastigotes is a complex process. Hence, studies on functional proteomics of these enzymes can help select these enzymes as possible vaccine candidates or selecting candidates for chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Several proteolytic enzymes are involved in

Treatment outcome of imported cutaneous leishmaniasis among travelers and migrants infected with Leishmania major and Leishmania tropica: a retrospective study in European centers 2013 to 2019

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2022
: Objectives: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Asia, Northern, and Sub-Saharan Africa is mainly caused by Leishmania major and Leishmania tropica. We describe and evaluate the treatment outcome of CL among travelers and migrants in Europe.

Histological and immunological differences between zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania major and sporadic cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania infantum

Parasite, 2019
Lesion features in cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) depend on the infecting Leishmania species as well as on host immune reponse. In this study, we evaluated the histological and immunological differences between two forms of CL described in Tunisia ...

Antileishmanial activity of polycyclic derivatives

Parasite, 2005
33 polycyclic derivatives have been studied and tested on Leishmania donovani and L. major promastigotes. Their antileishmanial activity was assessed in vitro and an assay of their cytotoxicity was realized on human myelomonocytic cell line.

Functional analysis of Leishmania major cyclophilin

International Journal for Parasitology, 2008
A potent immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A (CsA) is known to inhibit human cell infection by the pathogenic protozoan parasite Leishmania major both in vitro and in vivo. The proposed mechanism of action involves CsA binding to Leishmania major-expressed cyclophilin and subsequent down-regulation of signaling events necessary for establishing ...

Mixed Mucosal Leishmaniasis Infection Caused by Leishmania tropica and Leishmania major [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2012
ABSTRACT Mixed infections with different Leishmania species could explain differences in the clinical courses of these infections. On identification of Leishmania parasites from Iranian patients with mucosal leishmaniasis (ML), a patient with both oral and nasal lesions was found to
