Detection of Metalloproteases and Cysteine Proteases RNA Transcripts of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum in Ear Edge Skin of Naturally Infected Dogs

BioMed Research International, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Leishmania spp. proteases have been proposed as virulence factors contributing to adaptive success these parasites to the mammalian hosts. Since these enzymes are poorly studied in naturally infected dogs, this work aims to show the differences in metalloprotease and cysteine proteases gene expression in ear edge skin of dogs naturally infected by ...

Sex‐Related Differences in Immune Response and Symptomatic Manifestations to Infection with Leishmania Species

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Worldwide, an estimated 12 million people are infected with Leishmania spp. and an additional 350 million are at risk of infection. Leishmania are intracellular parasites that cause disease by suppressing macrophage microbicidal responses. Infection can remain asymptomatic or lead to a spectrum of diseases including cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and ...
