Ultrastructural expansion microscopy reveals unexpected levels of glycosome heterogeneity in African trypanosomes

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Kinetoplastid parasites include several species. Trypanosoma brucei causes African sleeping sickness in humans and a wasting disease nagana in livestock. Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease and Leishmania species cause leishmaniasis, which can present with visceral, cutaneous, or mucocutaneous symptoms.

Investigation of association between serum C‐reactive protein concentrations and proteinuria in dogs

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives Identify if serum C‐reactive protein concentrations and specific diseases are associated with proteinuria (defined as urine protein:creatinine ratio >0.2) in dogs without known pathological pre‐renal, renal or post‐renal causes. Materials and Methods Hypothesis generating retrospective study.

Potential vectors of Leishmaniases in the Environmental Protection Area and Tinguá Federal Biological Reserve, Municipality of Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
This study was to describe the composition of sand fly fauna, detect potential vectors of Leishmania spp. in the Tinguá district, an ATL endemic, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Seven species of vectorial importance in the epidemiological cycle of leishmaniasis was observed: Nyssomyia intermedia, Migonemyia migonei, Pintomyia fischeri, Psychodopygus hirsutus ...

Unravelling the biochemical aspects of the interaction between ticks and Leishmania using a tick cell line

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Leishmania infantum propagated in IDE8 tick cell line in vitro. L. infantum reduces tick cell viability and induces reactive oxygen species production. Lipidic profile of IDE8 tick cell line is altered during Leishmania infection. Abstract Leishmaniasis comprises a group of vector‐borne neglected tropical diseases caused by species of the obligatory ...

Evaluation of fluorimetry and direct visualization to interpret results of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification kit to detect Leishmania DNA

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) have proven to be advantageous in the diagnosis of leishmaniases, allowing sensitive diagnosis of: (i) cutaneous leishmaniasis in long duration lesions and (ii) visceral leishmaniasis using a less ...

Etymologia: Leishmaniasis

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania, named in 1901 for British Army doctor William Leishman, who developed a stain to detect the agent. It is transmitted by the bite of certain species of sand fly, including the genus Lutzomyia in the New World and Phlebotomus in the Old World.

Developing giant plasma membrane vesicles from Leishmania cells to investigate the role of membrane proteins in photodynamic inactivation

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
In this study, we developed giant plasma membrane vesicles (GPMVs) from Leishmania amazonensis promastigote membranes to investigate the role of protein‐embedded membranes in methylene blue (MB) photooxidation. Upon MB photoactivation in model lipid membranes (giant unilamellar vesicles, GUVs), a distinct photooxidation effect was observed, marked by ...

Detection and identification of Leishmania species within naturally infected sand flies in the Andean areas of Ecuador by a polymerase chain reaction [PDF]

, 2005
The surveillance of prevalent Leishmania and sand fly species in endemic areas is important for prediction of the risk and expansion of leishmaniasis. In this study, we developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method for detection of Leishmania ...
