Comorbidity of Leishmania major with cutaneous sarcoidosis
Indian Journal of Dermatology, 2014 leishmaniasis infection might manifest as sarcoidosis; on the other hand, some evidences propose an association between sarcoidosis and leishmaniasis. Most of the times, it is impossible to discriminate idiopathic sarcoidosis from leishmaniasis by conventional histopathologic exam.We performed a cross-sectional study to examine the association of ...

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 ...

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

Functional compartmentalization of Rad9 and Hus1 reveals diverse assembly of the 9-1-1 complex components during the DNA damage response in Leishmania [PDF]
, 2016 The Rad9-Rad1-Hus1 (9-1-1) complex is a key component in the coordination of DNA damage sensing, cell cycle progression and DNA repair pathways in eukaryotic cells. This PCNA-related trimer is loaded onto RPA-coated single stranded DNA and interacts with

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
