Identification and Biological Characterization of Leishmania (Viannia) guyanensis Isolated from a Patient with Tegumentary Leishmaniasis in Goiás, a Nonendemic Area for This Species in Brazil

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
The aim of this study was to characterize clinical field isolates of Leishmania spp. obtained from patients with American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis (ATL) who live in Goiás state, Brazil. The presumed areas of infection were in Goiás, Tocantins, and Pará states. Three isolates of parasites were identified as L. (Viannia) braziliensis and one as L.

Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis/HIV Coinfection Presented as a Diffuse Desquamative Rash

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease that is endemic in tropical areas and in the Mediterranean. This condition spreads to 98 countries in four continents, surpassing 12 million infected individuals, with 350 million people at risk of infection. This disease is characterized by a wide spectrum of clinical syndromes, caused by protozoa of the genus ...

The Role of Inflammatory, Anti‐Inflammatory, and Regulatory Cytokines in Patients Infected with Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Amazonas State, Brazil

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The authors discuss in this paper the role of inflammatory, anti‐inflammatory, and regulatory cytokines in patients infected with different species of Leishmania in Amazonas State, Brazil. A comparative analysis was made of serum concentrations of these cytokines in the peripheral blood of 33 patients infected with cutaneous leishmaniasis. The isolates

Evidence Gaps and Global Patterns in Leishmaniasis Control: A Scoping Review of Clinical, Diagnostic, and Treatment Strategies

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease with diverse clinical forms, heterogeneous geographical distribution, and persistent diagnostic and treatment challenges. Although substantial primary research exists, evidence remains fragmented, limiting integrated and context‐specific control strategies.

Mapping the Burden of Tegumentary Leishmaniasis in South America: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 12, Page 1261-1268, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction In recent years, the global burden of tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) has significantly increased in the Americas. Objective To estimate the prevalence of TL in South America based on publications from the past 13 years. Methods Three databases were searched, and articles were selected based on inclusion criteria and methodological

Inhibition of macrophage invasion by monoclonal antibodies specific to Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis promastigotes and characterisation of their antigens

, 2001
Monoclonal antibodies that specifically recognise Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis promastigotes were produced and termed SST-2, SST-3 and SST-4. SST-2 recognises a conformational epitope present in a 24-28 kDa doublet and in a 72 kDa component as ...
