| [cutaneous leishmaniasis in the urban area of sanliurfa (turkey)]. | in the leishmaniasis focus of sanliurfa, south-east turquey, phlebotomine sandflies catches in houses and stables seem to confirm the parasitological data with an urban cycle due to leishmania tropica transmitted by phlebotomus sergenti. the incidence could be reduce drastically by intradomiciliar and stables insecticide pulverisations. | 1996 | 9053048 |
| use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of natural leishmania infections in phlebotomine sand flies from southeastern turkey. | in total, 320 phelebotomine sand flies from alibozlu (osmaniye), kizyusuflu (osmaniye), and sanliurfa in southeastern turkey were tested for the detection and identification of leishmania in vector sand flies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with species-specific monoclonal antibodies. we used monoclonal antibodies that recognize both leishmania tropica and leishmania major, and a monoclonal antibody specific only to l. tropica. phosphate-buffered saline and monoclonal antibody m2 recognizin ... | 2006 | 16619606 |
| [is the agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis in sanliurfa changing? first cases of leishmania major]. | today, almost 2 million new leishmaniasis cases are noted annually; 1.5 million of these are cutaneous (cl), and others are visceral leishmaniasis (vl). in sanliurfa, cl cases caused by leishmania tropica but not by other agents such as l. infantum and l. major. l. tropica is a unique parasite species in sanliurfa and is the causative agent of anthroponotic cl (transmitted from human to vector to human). our aim was to report 3 new cl cases due to l. major ( 2 autochthonous and 1 imported) ident ... | 2014 | 25732888 |
| sand flies (diptera: phlebotominae) in sanliurfa, turkey: relationship of phlebotomus sergenti with the epidemic of anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis. | sand fly (diptera: phlebotominae) fauna were surveyed in various districts of sanliurfa in southeast turkey for 3 yr immediately after an epidemic of cutaneous leishmaniasis (leishmania tropica). sticky papers and cdc light traps collected a total of 10,937 sand flies, of which 10,919 (4,158 females and 6,761 males) were identified as phlebotomus and 18 (11 females and seven males) as sergentomyia (s. theodori parrot; s. adleri theodor). eight phlebotomus spp. were identified: p. sergenti parrot ... | 2002 | 11931243 |
| [cutaneous leishmaniasis in turkey]. | cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) caused by leishmania protozoon parasites is a disease which is characterized by long-term nodulo-ulcerative lesions healing spontaneously with scarring. the disease has been well-known in anatolia for centuries and has different names such as; urfa boil, antep boil, year boil, halep boil, oriental sore and beauty scar. the causative agents are leishmania tropica and leishmania tropica/leishmania infantum in southeastern anatolia and east mediterranean, respectively. ... | 2012 | 22801920 |
| identification of leishmania parasites in clinical samples obtained from cutaneous leishmaniasis patients using pcr-rflp technique in endemic region, sanliurfa province, in turkey. | antroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (acl) is an endemic disease and one of the major health problems in sanliurfa province located in the southeastern region of turkey. leishmania tropica is confirmed as the causative agent of acl in this region. in sanliurfa city alone, the recorded total cases of acl were 6,817 between 2001 and 2006. we aimed to determine the effectiveness of a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp) method for identification and differen ... | 2008 | 18509680 |
| serodiagnosis of anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (acl) caused by leishmania tropica in sanliurfa province, turkey, where acl is highly endemic. | in this study, we aimed to evaluate the validity of the conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) and the western blotting test for the diagnosis of anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (acl) using serum samples obtained from 51 patients with parasitologically proven nontreated cl (nont-cl patients) and 62 patients under treatment for cl (ut-cl patients). additionally, 29 serum samples obtained from patients with parasitologically and serologically proven visceral leishmaniasis (vl ... | 2007 | 17761525 |
| natural leishmania infection of phlebotomus sergenti (diptera: phlebotominae) in an endemic focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis in şanlıurfa, turkey. | sand flies (diptera: phlebotominae) were surveyed for leishmania in various villages of şanlıurfa in southeast turkey. a total of 474 sand flies were collected by cdc light traps. phlebotomus sergenti parrot (49.6%) and phlebotomus papatasi (scopoli) (48.1%) were the most abundant species, followed by phlebotomus alexandri sinton (1.05%), phlebotomus perfiliewi parrot (0.4%), phlebotomus (adlerius) sp.
