Leishmania (Viannia) lainsoni: First Isolation in Peru [PDF]
Surveys were conducted from 1986 through 1992 to define the etiology and geographic distribution of human leishmaniasis in Peru. Lesion aspirates and skin biopsies were obtained from clinically diagnosed cases of leishmaniasis and tested for promastigotes by standard culture techniques.

Leishmaniose cutânea na Amazônia: isolamento de Leishmania (Viannia) lainsoni do roedor Agouti paca (Rodentia: Dasyproctidae), no estado do Pará, Brasil [PDF]
Fez-se o registro, pela primeira vez, do isolamento de Leishmania (V.) lainsoni de um mamífero silvestre, o roedor Agouti paca (Rodentia: Dasyproctidae), no Estado do Pará, Brasil. As amostras do parasita foram isoladas da pele, aparentemente íntegra, de 3 espécimes desse roedor, capturados no município de Tucuruí (ilha de Tocantins), em área que seria

Leishmaniose cutânea experimental. III- Aspectos histopatológicos do comportamento evolutivo da lesão cutânea produzida em Cebus apella (Primates: Cebidae) por Leishmania (Viannia) lainsoni, L. (V.) braziliensis e L. (Leishmania) amazonensis [PDF]
Estudaram-se os aspectos histopatológicos relativos à evolução da infecção experimental produzida em Cebus apella (Primates: Cebidae) por Leishmania (V.) lainsoni, L. (V.) braziliensis e L. (L.) amazonensis. O exame microscópico de biópsias seqüênciais, obtidas dos animais a intervalos definidos de tempo (a primeira, às 48 ou 72 horas após a inoculação,

A first case of cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania (Viannia) lainsoni in Bolivia
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2001We present the first known case of cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania (Viannia) lainsoni detected in Bolivia. The parasite was isolated from a young girl living in the subtropical region of Carrasco (900-1000 m above sea level, Caranavi Province, Department of La Paz, Bolivia).

Simultaneous Infection with Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis and L. (V.) lainsoni in a Peruvian Patient with Cutaneous Leishmaniasis [PDF]
Conventional understanding suggests that simultaneous infection with more than one species of Leishmania is unlikely. In Peru, co-infections are clinically relevant because causative species dictates prognosis, treatment response, and follow-up. We describe a case of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis and L.

First evidence of transmission of Leishmania (Viannia) lainsoni in a Sub Andean region of Bolivia
Acta Tropica, 2002Using ubiquitous primers which amplify the variable parts of kDNA minicircle of all Leishmania spp, we obtained for Leishmania (viannia) lainsoni a major band of 605 bp (band 1) shared with L. V. braziliensis and a minor 524 bp band (band 2) specific of L. V. lainsoni. The specificity of the two bands was examined through Southern blot hybridization of

The present study demonstrates that axenic cultures of Leishmania (Viannia) lainsoni produce larger cell masses in NNN-LIT medium, as well as higher amounts of total proteins in cell extracts, than Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis. Antigenicity of L. (V.) lainsoni whole promastigotes is similar to that of L.

Leishmania (Viannia) lainsoni occupies a unique niche within the subgenus Viannia
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1995Leishmania lainsoni has recently been recognized as a new peripylarian species belonging to the subgenus Viannia and the L. braziliensis complex. It has been isolated from its sandfly vector, reservoir host and cutaneous lesions of human patients. Microscopical examination has shown characteristics which are different from those of other members of the
