| mucosal leishmaniasis in brazil. | the clinical diagnosis and laboratory identification of leishmania braziliensis braziliensis, a parasitic disease affecting the upper aerodigestive tract, is difficult. a retrospective computer-assisted analysis of patient records was done after examination of 58 patients with mucosal leishmaniasis in an endemic area of l. braziliensis braziliensis in bahia, brazil during january 1987. biopsies of clinically active and clinically inactive mucosal patients were examined for parasites using routin ... | 1989 | 2671555 |

| [natural infection of equus asinus by leishmania braziliensis braziliensis-bahia, brazil]. | in corte de pedra, valença, state of bahia, a donkey, equus asinus, was found naturally infected with leishmania braziliensis braziliensis. the parasite was isolated from a lesion located on a castration scar, and identified by means of monoclonal antibodies. | 1986 | 3587004 |
| [experimental infection of lutzomyia whitmani in dogs infected with leishmania braziliensis braziliensis]. | lutzomyia (n.) whitmani was infected on leishmaniotic lesions of three out of nine dogs infected with leishmania braziliensis braziliensis. the infectivity rates in these sandflies were 8.3% (1/12), 7.1% (1/14) and 1.8% (3/160), respectively. in addition, 180 lu. whitmani fed on non-ulcerated regions of one of the infected dogs and none became infected. we emphasize the vector potentiality of lu. whitmani for l.b. braziliensis in the endemic region of três braços, bahia, brazil. | 1986 | 3796276 |
| disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis in a field clinic in bahia, brazil: a report of eight cases. | eight bahian patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis who had 20 or more ulcerative lesions of short duration are described. of five identifications of isolated parasites, four were leishmania braziliensis braziliensis and one was l. mexicana amazonensis. all but one had positive montenegro tests initially, and all did after treatment. all had circulating anti-leishmanial antibodies and five responded well to glucantime therapy suggesting a functioning immune response. this is quite different to th ... | 1986 | 3806749 |
| leishmaniasis in brazil: xvii. enzymic characterization of a leishmania from the armadillo, dasypus novemcinctus (edentata), from pará state. | a comparison of enzyme profiles, by starch-gel electrophoresis, has distinguished a leishmania of armadillos (dasypus novemcinctus), from pará state, north brazil, from leishmania braziliensis braziliensis, l. braziliensis guyanensis, l. mexicana amazonensis, l. donovani sensu lato (from bahia, brazil), and l. hertigi deanei. the parasite was separated from l. b. braziliensis and l. b. guyanensis by 8 of the 14 enzymes used (asat, alat, pgm, gpi, g6pd, pep, mpi and gd), although differences in t ... | 1982 | 7164148 |
