Some methods for the enzymic characterization of Latin-American Leishmania with particular reference to Leishmania mexicana amazonensis and subspecies of Leishmania hertigi

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1980
30 Brazilian stocks of Leishmania mexicana amazonensis and 13 stocks of subspecies of Leishmania hertigi were characterized by starch-gel electrophoresis, using 18 enzymes selected from a total of 36 investigated. L. m. amazonensis was separable from subspecies of L. hertigi by enzymic profiles of 11 enzymes. The L. m.

Isolation of Leishmania Mexicana Amazonensis from the Bone Marrow in a Case of American Visceral Leishmaniasis

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1986
The first documented human case of visceral leishmaniasis caused by L. mexicana amazonensis is reported. Leishmania were isolated from bone marrow aspirate material from a typical visceral leishmaniasis patient. Further characterization by isoenzyme electrophoresis and by a panel of species- and subspecies-specific monoclonal antibodies established its

The Comparative Genomics and Phylogenomics of Leishmania Amazonensis Parasite [PDF]

open access: yesEvolutionary Bioinformatics, 2014
Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease caused by Leishmania species. Leishmania amazonensis is a New World Leishmania species belonging to the Mexicana complex, which is able to cause all types of leishmaniasis infections. The L.

Heme binding to Leishmania mexicana amazonensis

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1988
Leishmania mexicana amazonensis is a pathogenic parasite whose growth, due to a biosynthetic deficiency, is dependent on a supply of exogenous heme. Utilizing [55Fe]hemin, we have demonstrated that heme binding to non-dividing cultured promastigotes of L. m.

The surface free energy ofLeishmania mexicana amazonensis

Cell Biophysics, 1990
Surface charge of Leishmania mexicana amazonensis was investigated by direct zeta-potential determination and ultrastructural cytochemistry, and its surface tension was studied by measurements of the advancing contact angle formed by the parasite monolayers with drops of liquids of different polarities.

Leishmania mexicana amazonensis: Surface charge of amastigote and promastigote forms

Experimental Parasitology, 1983
The surface charge of Leishmania mexicana amazonensis was evaluated by means of the binding of colloidal iron hydroxyde particles at pH 1.8 and cationized ferritin particles at pH 7.2 to the cell surface, visualizated by electron microscopy and by direct measurements of the electrophoretic mobility of cells suspended in solutions of different pH.

N-Glycosylation as a biochemical basis for virulence in Leishmania mexicana amazonensis

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1988
Promastigotes of Leishmania mexicana amazonensis grown in vitro under different conditions showed variable degrees of virulence, as determined quantitatively by the size of the lesions and the number of intracellular parasites produced in mice and in cultured macrophages, respectively.

Isolation and Purification of Amastigotes of Leishmania mexicana amazonensis by a Gradient of Metrizamide

The Journal of Parasitology, 1983
Some attempts have been made to isolate intracellular forms of cutaneous leishmaniasis (Childs et al., 1976, J. Parasitol. 62: 676-679; Shaw and Lainson, 1977, J. Parasitol. 63: 384385; Brasil, 1978, Ann. Trop. Med. Parasitol. 72: 379-580; Infante et al., 1980, Parasitology 80:105-112). However, each of these techniques has limitations.

Leishmania mexicana amazonensis: Attachment to the membrane of the phagocytic vacuole of macrophages in vivo

Zeitschrift f�r Parasitenkunde Parasitology Research, 1981
Intracellular forms of Leishmania mexicana amazonensis divide inside the phagocytic vacuole of macrophages. Some parasites attach to the membrane of the phagocytic vacuole while others remain free in the vacuole. Examination of thin sections of the attachment region by electron microscopy revealed a space of 2 nm between the membrane of the phagocytic ...

Generation of sequence diversity in the kinetoplast DNA minicircles of Leishmania mexicana amazonensis

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1988
In order to understand the mechanisms which generate minicircle sequence diversity, we sequenced three minicircles belonging to the same or closely related sequence classes from the kinetoplast DNA of Leishmania mexicana amazonensis strains, PH8, Raimundo, and Josefa.
