Maxicircle (mitochondrial) genome sequence (partial) of Leishmania major: gene content, arrangement and composition compared with Leishmania tarentolae.
We report 8420 bp of DNA sequence data from the maxicircle (mitochondrial) genome of Leishmania major (MHOM/SU/73/5ASKH), a much larger portion of this genome than has been reported previously from any Leishmania species infecting humans. This region contains 10 partial and complete genes: 5 protein-encoding genes (COII, COIII, ND1, ND7 and Cyt b); two ribosomal RNA subunits (12S and 9S) and th...

Introduction: Leishmaniasis is one of the common parasitic disease which is one of the public health problems in tropical and subtropical regions. Moreover, Iran is faced to this issue. It affects about 20 to 40 cases in every 100000 persons annually and the number of cases is increasing around the world. This deseas is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania divided into major an...
متن کاملCLONING AND EXPRESSION OF LEISHMANOLYSIN GENE FROM LEISHMANIA MAJOR IN PRIMATE CELL LINES
Leishmanolysin is a worldwide disease that is caused by different species of the genus Leishmania. Leishmanolysin, One of the genes expressed by Leishmania, appears to be an ideal candidate for genetic vaccination. In this study, a full length sequence, which encodes Leishmanolysin functionally critical regions (amino acids 100-579), was cloned from a Leishmania strain endemic to Iran. Analysis...
متن کاملGenetic typing and phylogeny of the Leishmania donovani complex by restriction analysis of PCR amplified gp63 intergenic regions.
Protozoan parasites of the Leishmania donovani complex (L. donovani, L. infantum/L. chagasi) are causative agents of visceral leishmaniasis. To understand phylogeny and taxonomy within this group better we have developed 2 new polymerase chain reaction-linked restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analyses of the major surface protease (msp or gp63) intergenic (ITG) regions. We hav...
متن کاملHeterologous expression of Trypanosoma cruzi trans-sialidase in Leishmania major enhances virulence.
Earlier studies showed that mice primed for a few hours with the trans-sialidase (TS) of Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas' disease, become highly susceptible to trypanosomal infection. These studies suggest that TS affects parasite virulence independent of antigenic stimulation. Potentially, TS could enhance or reduce the virulence of heterologous microbes depending on the mechanism of TS...
