Visceral Leishmaniasis Caused by Leishmania Tropica

Acta Parasitologica, 2023
In Turkey, the main causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is Leishmania. infantum and the main causative agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is Leishmania tropica. In this study, we aimed to discuss the possible mechanisms, clinical aspects, and threat of visceralizing L. tropica.This study includes seven cases of VL caused by L.

Leishmania tropica Infections in Travellers

Archives of Dermatology, 1976
Oriental sore (acute cutaneous leishmaniasis) is usually a self-limited infection of the skin caused by the protozoan Leishmania tropica. This disease is endemic to the Mediterranean, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, and is seen in this country among travellers and immigrants.

Leishmania tropica: Chemostatic cultivation

Experimental Parasitology, 1970
Abstract A semidefined, cell-free liquid medium was developed which supported batch cultivation of L. tropica, L. donovani , and L. brasiliensis , after preadaptation over N.I.H. blood agar. Average batch growth peaks of 2.4 × 10 8 cells/ml for L. tropica , 4.1 × 10 7 cells/ml for L. donovani , and 9.9 × 10 7 cells/ml for L.

Characterization of Leishmania (Leishmania) tropica axenic amastigotes

Acta Tropica, 2010
Optimum conditions for generating Leishmania (Leishmania) tropica axenic amastigotes (AxA) in culture were determined, pH 5.5/36 degrees C, and the parasites characterized by different techniques, including light microscopy, macrophage infection, stage specific antigen expression and differential display. AxA were morphologically similar to amastigotes

The Metabolism of Leishmania Tropica

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1928
An extensive literature dealing with the metabolism of bacteria has accumulated, but so far, little work has been carried out on the metabolic activities of the protozoa. The protozoologist's inability to grow the latter for many generations, has been and still is one of the difficulties in the way.

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,

Mitochondrial proteome profiling of Leishmania tropica

Microbial Pathogenesis, 2019
The mitochondrion of kinetoplastida has unique characteristics both in structure and function. To better understand the mitochondrial proteome of the Leishmania tropica promastigote stage, liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) approach was used.

Leishmania tropica and Leishmania mexicana: Cross-immunity in mice

Experimental Parasitology, 1978
Abstract The effect of a previous or concurrent Leishmania tropica major infection on a L. mexicana infection was studied. Mice which were recovering from or had recovered from a L. tropica infection were found to be totally resistant to L. mexicana. Infection of mice already carrying a L. mexicana infection with L.
