Genetic structure and evolution of the Leishmania genus in Africa and Eurasia: what does MLSA tell us [PDF]
Leishmaniasis is a complex parasitic disease from a taxonomic, clinical and epidemiological point of view. The role of genetic exchanges has been questioned for over twenty years and their recent experimental demonstration along with the identification ...

The recombinant protein rSP03B is a valid antigen for screening dog exposure to Phlebotomus perniciosus across foci of canine leishmaniasis [PDF]
The frequency of sandfly-host contacts can be measured by host antibody levels against sandfly salivary proteins. Recombinant salivary proteins are suggested to represent a valid replacement for salivary gland homogenate (SGH); however, it is necessary ...

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

Aminophthalocyanine-Mediated Photodynamic Inactivation of Leishmania tropica [PDF]
ABSTRACT Photodynamic inactivation of Leishmania spp. requires the cellular uptake of photosensitizers, e.g., endocytosis of silicon(IV)-phthalocyanines (PC) axially substituted with bulky ligands. We report here that when substituted with amino-containing ligands, the PCs (PC1 and PC2) were endocytosed ...
