A canine model of experimental infection with Leishmania (L.) mexicana [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2014 Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a tropical disease affecting over one million patients annually and Leishmania (L.) mexicana is one of the major etiological agents in the Americas. Here we established the first experimental infection of L. (L.) mexicana in canids.Beagle dogs were infected intradermally with culture-derived L. (L.) mexicana. We followed skin

Purification and Characterization of Proteolytic Enzymes of Leishmania mexicana mexicana Amastigotes and Promastigotes [PDF]
Microbiology, 1984 Leishmania mexicana mexicana amastigote and promastigote soluble proteinases were purified using gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. For the amastigotes, two main proteinase activity peaks were separated with both methods. These accounted for approximately 10% and 90% of the total activity.
