Tegumentary leishmaniasis by Leishmania braziliensis complex in Cochabamba, Bolivia including the presence of L. braziliensis outlier

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page 2242-2255, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Leishmaniasis is caused by protozoans of the Leishmania genus, which includes more than 20 species capable of infecting humans worldwide. In the Americas, the most widespread specie is L. braziliensis, present in 18 countries including Bolivia. The taxonomic position of the L. braziliensis complex has been a subject of controversy, complicated

Equine infection with Leishmania spp. in Costa Rica: Study of five cases

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 7, Issue 6, Page 2234-2239, November 2021., 2021
The present report describes 5 cases of equine cutaneous leishmaniosis in Costa Rica using histopathology, immunohistochemistry and qPCR. Our results emphasise the importance of Leishmania spp. not only as a causative agent of equine cutaneous disease in the New World but also as a possible emerging pathogen.

Analysis of the IGS rRNA Region and Applicability for Leishmania (V.) braziliensis Characterization

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
The causative species is an important factor influencing the evolution of American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL). Due to its wide distribution in endemic areas, Leishmania (V.) braziliensis is considered one of the most important species in circulation in Brazil.
