Persistent Infections by Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1997 Here we review the phenomenon of persistency in Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis infections. In other Leishmania species where appropriate animal models exist, considerable advances in the understanding of basic immunologic mechanisms of persistency ...

Effective Genome Editing in Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis Stably Expressing Cas9 and T7 RNA Polymerase [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Until 2015, loss-of-function studies to elucidate protein function in Leishmania relied on gene disruption through homologous recombination. Then, the CRISPR/Cas9 revolution reached these protozoan parasites allowing efficient genome editing with one ...

Is Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis parasite load associated with disease pathogenesis? [PDF]
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2017 Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis is the main etiological agent of tegumentary leishmaniasis in the Americas. Parasite molecular diversity and host immune status contribute to extensive variations in its clinical presentation within endemic areas of Brazil.

Chemotaxis in Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis: Evaluation by the two-chamber capillary assay. [PDF]
MethodsX, 2021 Chemotactic responses play a significant role during Leishmania (V.) braziliensis differentiation through its life cycle and during infection. The aim of this description has been to portray the modified "two-chamber capillary chemotaxis assay" as a technique useful for quantitative in vitro evaluation of Leishmania chemotaxis after reviewing the ...

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011 Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis is a parasite recognized as the most important etiologic agent of mucosal leishmaniasis (ML) in the New World. In Amazonia, seven different species of Leishmania, etiologic agents of human Cutaneous Leishmaniasis, have been described. Isolated cases of ML have been described for several different species of Leishmania:
