Leishmania major Infection in Humanized Mice Induces Systemic Infection and Provokes a Nonprotective Human Immune Response [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Leishmania (L.) species are the causative agent of leishmaniasis. Due to the lack of efficient vaccine candidates, drug therapies are the only option to deal with cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Comparative gene expression pattern of immune-related genes using dual-color RT-MLPA in the lesions of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by L. major and L. tropica.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is the most prevalent type of leishmaniasis disease and causes skin lesions, mainly ulcers, on exposed parts of the body. The Americas, Mediterranean basin, Middle East, and Central Asia account for approximately 95% of all ...

Comparison of Cysteine Protease B Gene Expression between Clinical Isolates of Leishmania tropica, Leishmania major and Leishmania infantum

Journal of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2019
Introduction: Leishmania cysteine protease B (CPB) is a parasite virulence factor that plays a vital role in host-parasitic interactions. Regarding the importance of the CPB gene, we used a quantitative real-time RT-PCR to investigate the expression of ...

Synthesis of thiosemicarbazone Schiff base derivatives as anti-leishmanial agents and molecular dynamics simulations insights

Scientific Reports
Leishmaniasis is one of the infectious diseases caused by protozoa and is considered the second most significant parasitic disease after malaria. In this research, thiosemicarbazone Schiff base derivatives were synthesized via a one-pot, two-step, three ...
