Obtaining and maintenance in cultivation of axenic amastigotes of Leishmania peruviana and Leishmania brazilensisObtención y mantenimiento en cultivo de amastigotes axénicos de Leishmania peruviana y Leishmania brazilensis
(Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Facultad de Medicina Humana, 2020)
Comparative zymographic analysis of metallopeptidase of Leishmania (Viannia) peruviana and Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis isolates from Peru
(Elsevier, 2012)
American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL) in Peru is mainly associated with Leishmania (Viannia) peruviana and L. (V.) braziliensis. These parasites are genetically related, and their characterization as distinct species ...
Virulence factor RNA transcript expression in the Leishmania Viannia subgenus: Influence of species, isolate source, and Leishmania RNA virus-1
(Springer, 2019)
Background: Leishmania RNA virus-1 (LRV1) is a double-stranded RNA virus identified in 20-25% of Viannia - species endemic to Latin America, and is believed to accelerate cutaneous to mucosal leishmaniasis over time. Our ...
Plasticity of gp63 gene organization in Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis and Leishmania (Viannia) peruviana
(Cambridge University Press, 1995)
The genomic organization of gp63 genes in 4 and 7 isolates of Leishmania braziliensis and L. peruviana, respectively was studied by RFLP analysis with 3 restriction enzymes (Bgl I, Sal I and Apa I). Our results showed a ...
Leishmania (Viannia) species identification on clinical samples from cutaneous leishmaniasis patients in Peru: Assessment of a molecular stepwise approach
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012)
We present an algorithm based on three PCR assays for Leishmania (Viannia) species identification and assessed its performance using 70 specimens from Peruvian patients. The succession of the assayed targets can be ordered ...
Leishmania amazonensis META2 protein confers protection against heat shock and oxidative stress
(Elsevier, 2011)
The META cluster of Leishmania amazonensis contains both META1 and META2 genes, which are upregulated in metacyclic promastigotes and encode proteins containing the META domain. Previous studies defined META2 as a 48.0-kDa ...
Influence of Leishmania RNA Virus-1 (LRV-1) on Virulence Factor RNA Transcript Expression of Leishmania Viannia spp
(Elsevier, 2018)
Background: Leishmania RNA Virus-1 (LRV-1) is a double stranded RNA virus identified in strains of the Viannia subgenus in Latin America. Virulence factors (VFs) are gene products that augment pathogenicity of an organism, ...
Impact of tumor necrosis factor receptor p55 deficiency in susceptibility of C57BL/6 mice to infection with Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis
(Scientific Communications Int Ltd, 2014-05)
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is involved in host resistance to several intracellular pathogens. Although the critical role of TNF receptor (TNFR)p55 in Leishmania (Leishmania) major infection has been demonstrated, the ...
