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 ...

Treatment of Visceral Leishmaniasis

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1992
Sir .—Mahieu and Van Acker 1 reported a case of visceral leishmaniasis (kalaazar) in the November 1991 issue of AJDC . Several case reports were included in the references, but only a few were from Mediterranean countries in which the disease is more prevalent, as mentioned by the authors. I would like to bring our experience with this disease into the

Recombinant LPG3 Protein From Leishmania chagasi as an Antigen for the Diagnosis of Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a human neglected tropical disease in which dogs participate as reservoirs of the etiological agent Leishmania chagasi. The identification of infected dogs is important to the control of VL, and recombinant proteins are strong antigen candidates for canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) serodiagnosis. In this work,

[Visceral leishmaniasis].

Vnitrni lekarstvi, 2013
Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by protozoan parasite of genus Leishmania which is transmitted through bites ofinfected sand flies. It has been reported that Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is more sensitive and specific test for the diagnosis ofvisceral leishmaniasis than bone marrow examination. This recent study is a renewed effort to validate the

Visceral leishmaniasis patients display altered composition and maturity of neutrophils as well as impaired neutrophil effector functions [PDF]

, 2016
Immunologically, active visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is characterised by profound immunosuppression, severe systemic inflammatory responses and an impaired capacity to control parasite replication.

Canine Leishmaniasis in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2000–2015): Taxonomic Characterisation of Etiological Agents and Geospatial Case Analysis

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Canine Leishmaniasis is a vector‐borne zoonotic disease caused by several species of protozoa of the genus Leishmania. In the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Leishmania braziliensis is the most prevalent species causing tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) and Leishmania infantum is the main causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL).

Field evaluation of rK39 test and direct agglutination test for diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis in a population with high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus in Ethiopia [PDF]

, 2009
Accuracy of an rK39 rapid diagnostic test (DiaMed-IT-Leish ) for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) was compared with splenic aspiration and the direct agglutination test (DAT) in a population with a high prevalence of infection with human immunodeficiency ...

Domestic dog ownership in Iran is a risk factor for human infection with Leishmania infantum. [PDF]

, 2002
One explanation proposed for the widespread failure to control zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis by culling infected domestic dogs is that wild canids or humans play significant roles in transmission.

Factors Associated With the Emergence and Spread of Visceral Leishmaniasis in the State of São Paulo, Brazil

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), once considered a rural disease in Brazil, has progressively urbanised, particularly in the state of São Paulo (SSP), where the first urban cases emerged after the detection of the vector Lutzomyia longipalpis in 1997.
