| leishmania major in meriones sacramenti thomas 1922 in nakhel, north sinai, egypt. | leishmania major is a protozoal parasite of desert and savanna rodents, the vectors being mainly phlebotomus (phlebotomus) papatasi and very closely related species. man in an incidental host, in whom usually it causes zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis. in this paper, spot light survey was carried out in nakhel to identify the role of animal reservoir(s) where a sudden outbreak occurred in nakhel center. the trapped rodents were m. musculus, meriones sacramenti and gerbillus pyramidum. three isol ... | 1993 | 8376854 |
| leishmania major and meriones crassus in north sinai governorate, egypt. | zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl.) now seems to be more than was once thought in north sinai. in the present study, meriones crassus (23) and m. sacramenti (10) were collected from limited foci of human cl. leishmania major (four strains) were isolated from m. crassus as indicated enzymologically by the cellulose acetate electrophoresis of nine different enzymes (mdh, 6 pgd, gd, pk, pgm, nh, gpi, me and sod). the four strains were equivalent to zymodeme lon 1 (three strains) and lon 2 (one ... | 1991 | 1875065 |
| two successive years studies on phlebotomus papatasi in north sinai governorate, egypt. | no doubt, zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl) is increasing in north sinai governorate. the causative agent, l. major was identified as well as two animal reservoir hosts, gerbillus pyramidum and meriones crassus. this paper was intended to study the seasonal abundance and the sex ratio of the suspected insect, phlebotomus papatasi as well as to search for natural infected in wild caught females. the c.d.c. miniature light traps were used for adult collections, dissection was used for demonst ... | 1992 | 1578184 |
| natural and experimental evidence of viscerotropic infection caused by leishmania tropica from north sinai, egypt. | cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) is a neglected clinical form that is quite prevalent in eastern north parts of the country in sinai peninsula. leishmania tropica was identified by previous reports as the causative agent responsible for viscerotropic infections in-patients and experimental animals. here, we reported the viscerotropic infections from naturally infected rodent gerbillus pyramidum floweri collected from north-sinai. footpad and tail lesions, spleenomegaly, and malformed dark-colored sp ... | 2014 | 25597157 |
| first report of leishmania tropica from a classical focus of l. major in north-sinai, egypt. | cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) is prevalent in the egyptian sinai peninsula and previous research has consistently documented the etiologic agent to be leishmania major. we report the first isolation of leishmania tropica from human cases of cl in a northern sinai community bordering palestine. parasite culturing, real-time polymerase chain reaction (pcr), gene sequencing, and restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) analyses indicate cl cases in this community were caused by either l. majo ... | 2009 | 19635872 |
| identification of a misleading trypanosomatid parasite from gerbillus pyramidum and g. andersoni in a leishmania major endemic area in north sinai. | during an epidemiologic investigation of cutaneous leishmaniasis at a focus in north sinai, egypt, between june 1989 and december 1991, 897 desert rodents were trapped and examined to identify reservoir hosts for leishmania major. mixed forms of epimastigotes and promastigotes were isolated in tanabe's medium from 4 gerbillus pyramidum and 1 gerbillus andersoni. the 2 forms were later grown and separated as distinct cultures in schneider's medium. the isoenzyme profile of the gerbils' promastigo ... | 1996 | 8636842 |
