Moroccan strains of Leishmania major and Leishmania tropica differentially impact on nitric oxide production by macrophages

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a vector-borne parasitic disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania. In Morocco, CL is a public health problem mainly caused by Leishmania major and Leishmania tropica, which are responsible for zoonotic

Leishmania tropica in Morocco: infection in dogs

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1991
In Morocco, human cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania tropica covers a wide geographical area including the High Atlas (MARTY et al., 1989) and the western part of the Anti-Atlas mountain ranges. It is hypoendemic and found in rural locations, either in isolated homesteads or in a small villages,

Leishmania tropica Infection in Golden Jackals and Red Foxes, Israel

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
During a survey of wild canids, internal transcribed spacer 1 real-time PCR and high-resolution melt analysis identified Leishmania tropica in samples from jackals and foxes. Infection was most prevalent in ear and spleen samples.

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).

Vaccination with whole-cell killed or recombinant leishmanial protein and toll-like receptor agonists against Leishmania tropica in BALB/c mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
One strategy to control leishmaniasis is vaccination with potent antigens alongside suitable adjuvants. The use of toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists as adjuvants is a promising approach in Leishmania vaccine research. Leishmania (L.) tropica is among the

Efficacy of Thermotherapy to Treat Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Caused by Leishmania tropica in Kabul, Afghanistan: A Randomized, Controlled Trial [PDF]

, 2005
BACKGROUND: Pentavalent antimony is the agent recommended for treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). Its use is problematic, because it is expensive and because of the potential for drug-associated adverse effects during a lengthy and painful ...

Molecular approaches for a better understanding of the epidemiology and population genetics of Leishmania. [PDF]

, 2011
Molecular approaches are being used increasingly for epidemiological studies of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniases. Several molecular markers resolving genetic differences between Leishmania parasites at species and strain levels have been developed to

Isolation and molecular identification of cutaneous leishmaniasis in humans and dogs in middle Euphrates, Iraq [PDF]

Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences
In Iraq, one of the endemic illnesses is cutaneous Leishmaniasis. This study aimed to characterize local isolates of Leishmania tropica and Leishmania major molecularly and determine how closely related they were to reference isolates from nearby nations.
