| species assignation of leishmania from human and canine american tegumentary leishmaniasis cases by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis in north argentina. | sixteen leishmania stocks, 15 isolated from patients with cutaneous (cl), mucocutaneous (mcl), or recurrent cutaneous leishmaniasis, plus one from a dog with cl in salta and corrientes provinces, argentina, were studied by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis. thirteen of the stocks from humans were grouped in two zymodemes; nine termed as kms 1, four as kms 2, and assigned to leishmania (viannia) braziliensis. two additional stocks from cl cases expressed a kms 4 enzyme profile, corresponding to l ... | 2005 | 15891136 |
| canine infection and the possible role of dogs in the transmission of american tegumentary leishmaniosis in salta, argentina. | some leishmania species affect humans in two principal forms: visceral and cutaneous leishmaniosis (cl). several studies have identified dogs as the main reservoirs of the visceral leishmaniosis (vl) caused by leishmania infantum. the purpose of this work was to carry out a survey of the canine population associated with human cases of american tegumentary leishmaniosis (atl), in order to establish the clinical, parasitological, serological and immunological characteristics of the canine disease ... | 2002 | 12446084 |
| [mucocutaneous leishmaniasis in naturally infected dogs in salta, argentina]. | the objective of the present study is to describe two cases of dogs with mucocutaneous lesions caused by leishmania spp. both dogs presented destruction of the nasal septum, hyperemia with soft palate edema and barking alteration due to laryngeal compromise. biopsies were taken from the lesion border and leishmania spp. amastigotes were seen in the imprints. the dogs presented positive serology when complex soluble antigen from leishmania mexicana was used. one of the dogs was also suspected to ... | 2000 | 11008704 |
