| [identification of leishmania species isolated in human cases in mato grosso do sul, by means of the polymerase chain reaction]. | leishmaniases are endemic zoonoses in the state of mato grosso do sul. their etiological agents in this region of brazil are leishmania (leishmania) chagasi, leishmania (leishmania) amazonensis and leishmania (viannia) braziliensis. the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) is a tool with high specificity and sensitivity for identifying leishmania species. this study examined 39 cryopreserved isolates of leishmania that had been collected by bone marrow aspiration and/or lesion biopsy, depending on th ... | 2009 | 19684979 |
| phlebotomine fauna (diptera: psychodidae) of an american cutaneous leishmaniasis endemic area in the state of mato grosso do sul, brazil. | the occurrence of an outbreak of cutaneous leishmaniasis associated with leishmania (leishmania) amazonensis in the municipality of bela vista, state of mato grosso do sul, brazil, and the absence of information on its vectors in this area led the authors to undertake captures of phlebotomine sand flies, using shannon traps and automatic cdc light traps, in domiciles, forested areas and animal shelters from february 2004-january 2006. a total of 808 specimens belonging to 18 sandfly species have ... | 2009 | 19820827 |
