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.

Sequence analysis of the 3-untranslated region of HSP70 (type I) genes in the genus Leishmania: Its usefulness as a molecular marker for species identification [PDF]

, 2015
Background: The Leishmaniases are a group of clinically diverse diseases caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania. To distinguish between species is crucial for correct diagnosis and prognosis as well as for treatment decisions.

Native rodent species are unlikely sources of infection for Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis along the Transoceanic Highway in Madre de Dios, Peru. [PDF]

, 2014
An estimated 2.3 million disability-adjusted life years are lost globally from leishmaniasis. In Peru's Amazon region, the department of Madre de Dios (MDD) rises above the rest of the country in terms of the annual incidence rates of human leishmaniasis.

Further Evidence of an Association between the Presence of Leishmania RNA Virus 1 and the Mucosal Manifestations in Tegumentary Leishmaniasis Patients. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
Tegumentary Leishmaniasis (TL) is endemic in Latin America, and Brazil contributes approximately 20 thousand cases per year. The pathogenesis of TL, however, is still not fully understood. Clinical manifestations vary from cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) to
