Mixed mucosal leishmaniasis infection caused by Leishmania tropica and Leishmania
26 Mixed infection by different Leishmania species could explain differences in the clinical 27 course of these infections. On identification of Leishmania parasites from Iranian patients 28 with mucosal leishmaniasis (ML), a patient with both oral and nasal lesions was found to be 29 concomitantly infected with L. tropica and L. major. Mixed infection was identified by PCR 30 amplification of ...

متن کاملVisualization of Leishmania tropica Infection in BALB/c Mice by Bioluminescence Imaging
Background: Leishmania tropica is the cause of more than one form of leishmaniasis and lacks a known reservoir animal. This study compares the potential infectivity of recombinant and wild-type L. tropica in BALB/c mice. Methods: The potential infectivity of recombinant L. tropicaEGFP or L. tropicaEGFP-LUC by two different, the subcutaneous and intradermal, routes was compared using a range of ...
متن کاملEpidemiological aspects of canine visceral leishmaniosis in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
An epidemiological study to examine the sero-prevalence of zoonotic visceral leishmaniosis (ZVL) among domestic and wild canines in endemic foci of Iran was carried out during 1999-2003 to assess the distribution of the disease and the possible association between infection in dogs, wild canines and people. Anti-leishmanial antibodies were detected by the direct agglutination test (DAT). Parasi...
