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.

Kinetoplast minicircle DNA from Leishmania (Viannia) lainsoni

Parasitology, 1999
To investigate the phenomenon that PCR of Leishmania (V.) lainsoni minicircles using primers B1 and B2 gives anomalous small-sized products, unlike all other members of the Leishmania Viannia subgenus, cloned kDNA minicircles from L. (Viannia) lainsoni were sequenced using fluorescent dye terminator reactions. The sequence of L.

Comparison of Leishmania typing results obtained from 16 European clinical laboratories in 2014 [PDF]

, 2016
Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease which is endemic in 98 countries worldwide [1]. It is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania, which are transmitted by female sand flies of the genera Lutzomyia and Phlebotomus.

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

Cutaneous Leishmaniasis: The Complexity of Host’s Effective Immune Response against a Polymorphic Parasitic Disease

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
This review is aimed at providing a comprehensive outline of the immune response displayed against cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), the more common zoonotic infection caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania. Although of polymorphic clinical presentation, classically CL is characterized by leishmaniotic lesions on the face and extremities of ...
