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.

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

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.

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 ...

Synthetic Peptides as Potential Antigens for Cutaneous Leishmaniosis Diagnosis
Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 This work’s goal was to research new candidate antigens for cutaneous leishmaniosis (CL). In order to reach the goal, we used random peptide phage display libraries screened using antibodies from Leishmania braziliensis patients. After selection, three peptides (P1, P2, and P3) were synthesized using Fmoc chemistry.
