The relationship of blood-group type to American cutaneous leishmaniasis
(Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology, 1989)
The association of certain human blood groups with parasites is a controversial subject. In some cases positive correlations have been demonstrated, as in schistosomiasis (Pereira et al., 1979) and giardiasis (Barnes and ...

Variation of cytokine patterns related to therapeutic response in diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis
(1996)
Diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis is a rare entity characterized by disseminated cutaneous nodules associated with specific anergy to leishmanial antigens. A low but not absent IFN-γ expression by cells present in cutaneous ...
Eosinophilic inflammation in lymph nodes of dogs with visceral leishmaniasis
(2018-08-01)
Eosinophils are traditionally associated with the immune response against helminth parasites. However, several studies have demonstrated that these cells have a role regarding protective immunity in leishmaniasis. Here, ...
Molecular detection of the blood meal source of sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) in a transmission area of American cutaneous leishmaniasis, Parana State, Brazil
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-03-01)
The feeding behavior of sand flies provides valuable information about the vector/host interactions and elucidates the epidemiological patterns of American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) transmission. The aim of this study ...

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of Leishmania spp. in dogs and cats from Botucatu, Sao Paulo state, and Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil, by the association of three diagnostic tests: ...
Detection of canine visceral leishmaniasis by conjunctival swab PCR
(Soc Brasileira Medicina Tropical, 2016-01-01)
Introduction: Conjunctival swab PCR was evaluated as a tool to diagnose visceral leishmaniasis in dogs. Methods: Conjunctival swab PCR was compared to indirect immunofluorescence antibody test and blood PCR. Results: ...
Regulatory t-cell dynamics in cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis due to leishmania braziliensis
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2018)
To evaluate the dynamics of regulatory T cells (Tregs) during tegumentary leishmaniasis, we assessed peripheral blood and biopsies from 54 patients. Patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) had a decreased proportion of ...
