Molecular Identification of Species Caused Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in South-ern Zone of Iran

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2018
Background: Leishmania major and Leishmania tropica are two main species causing cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Iran. Recently, Crithidia spp. has also been reported in the wound of patients with CL.

Synthetic Biology in Leishmaniasis: Design,simulation and validation of constructed Genetic circuit [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
Building circuits and studying their behavior in cells is a major goal of systems and synthetic biology. Synthetic biology enables the precise control of cellular states for systems studies, the discovery of novel parts, control strategies, and interactions for the design of robust synthetic systems. To the best of our knowledge,there are no literature

Risk factors for the expansion of cutaneous leishmaniasis by Leishmania tropica: Possible implications for control programmes

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2018
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) caused by Leishmania tropica is emerging in new areas, initially as outbreaks and then establishing endemic foci. There is little evidence of the risk factors and effectiveness of existing control measures, what limits our ...

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, Volume 22, Issue 6, Page 763-773, June 2024.
Summary Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis is a severe infectious disease, predominantly endemic in Central and South America and is characterized by granulomatous, destructive mucosal lesions in the oral, nasal, and pharyngeal cavities. It is caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania spp. transmitted to humans by sandflies.

Population Structure of Leishmania tropica Causing Anthroponotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Southern Iran by PCR-RFLP of Kinetoplastid DNA

BioMed Research International, 2018
Iran is one of the six countries with the most cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) patients. Understanding better the genotypes of the parasite population in relation to geography and climate is critical to achieving better CL control.
