Comparative zymographic analysis of metallopeptidase of Leishmania (Viannia) peruviana and Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis isolates from Peru

Parasitology International, 2012
American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL) in Peru is mainly associated with Leishmania (Viannia) peruviana and L. (V.) braziliensis. These parasites are genetically related, and their characterization as distinct species is controversial. Despite their genetic similarity, each species is associated with different clinical manifestations of ATL; L.

Antibody response in patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis infected by Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis or Leishmania (Viannia) guyanensis in Brazil

Acta Tropica, 2005
The antibody response against Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis crude antigen was measured through the indirect immunofluorescent assay (IFA) and the immunoenzymatic assay (ELISA) in 114 patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Brazil. Fifty-four patients were infected by Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis, and 60 patients had L.

Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis: New primers for identification using polymerase chain reaction

Experimental Parasitology, 2008
The objective of this study was to develop specific primers for Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis species identification using PCR. The designed primers (LBF1 and LBR1) were evaluated for sensitivity and specificity using various L. (V.) braziliensis serodemes and various Leishmania species and also using Trypanosoma cruzi. A specific fragment of 536bp

Galleria mellonella hemocytes: A novel phagocytic assay for Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis

Journal of Microbiological Methods, 2016
Galleria mellonella is an excellent invertebrate model for the study of diseases that involve interactions with cells from the innate immune system, since they have an innate immune system capable of recognizing the pathogens. Here we present for the first time, an alternative model for an in vitro phagocytic assay using hemocytes of G.

Genetic variant strains of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis exhibit distinct biological behaviors

Parasitology Research, 2018
A variety of clinical forms of American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) caused by Leishmania braziliensis, as well as differing immune responses of patients, have been reported for an ACL focus in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. In addition, two genetic profiles of L.

Haematogenous dissemination of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis in human American tegumentary leishmaniasis

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2006
One of the potential dangers of American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL) caused by Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis is the development of mucosal lesions. Haematogenous dissemination of the parasite is the most likely mechanism to explain this occurrence, but most attempts to isolate the parasite from blood have so far been unsuccessful.
