| isolation of leishmania (l.) mexicana from wild rodents and their possible role in the transmission of localized cutaneous leishmaniasis in the state of campeche, mexico. | leishmania parasites were isolated from four of seven small rodent species captured in the state of campeche, mexico. signs and/or symptoms of leishmanial infection were restricted to the tail of the mice. peromyscus yucatanicus endemic to the peninsula of yucatan and oryzomys melanotis were added to the list of carriers of leishmania. leishmania (l.) mexicana, characterized by an indirect immunofluorescence antibody method using monoclonal antibodies, was identified in one sigmodon hispidus and ... | 1995 | 7677214 |
| use of monoclonal antibodies for the identification of leishmania spp. isolated from humans and wild rodents in the state of campeche, mexico. | the genus leishmania includes 30 described species which infect a wide variety of mammalian hosts. the precise identification of leishmanial parasites at the species level is very important in order to determine whether an organism, causing the disease in a given area, is of the same biotype as that found in suspected mammalian reservoirs. the objectives of the present study were (1) to identify leishmanial parasites isolated from humans and wild rodents from the state of campeche, an endemic fo ... | 1999 | 10348978 |
| potential sympatric vectors and mammalian hosts of venezuelan equine encephalitis virus in southern mexico. | arboviruses are important zoonotic agents with complex transmission cycles and are not well understood because they may involve many vectors and hosts. we studied sympatric wild mammals and hematophagous mosquitoes having the potential to act as hosts and vectors in two areas of southern mexico. mosquitoes, bats, and rodents were captured in calakmul (campeche) and montes azules (chiapas), between november 2010 and august 2011. spleen samples from 146 bats and 14 rodents were tested for molecula ... | 2017 | 28384059 |
