| profiling of human acquired immunity against the salivary proteins of phlebotomus papatasi reveals clusters of differential immunoreactivity. | phlebotomus papatasi sand flies are among the primary vectors of leishmania major parasites from morocco to the indian subcontinent and from southern europe to central and eastern africa. antibody-based immunity to sand fly salivary gland proteins in human populations remains a complex contextual problem that is not yet fully understood. we profiled the immunoreactivities of plasma antibodies to sand fly salivary gland sonicates (sgss) from 229 human blood donors residing in different regions of ... | 2014 | 24615125 |

| isoenzyme characterization of leishmania species from iraq. | leishmaniasis in iraq takes both the visceral and cutaneous forms. the causative organisms are identified according to the electrophoretic variation of the enzymes mdh, gpi, 6pgd, pgm and idh. the 37 visceral stocks investigated fall into two groups which differ only with respect to gpi. the six cutaneous stocks were divided into three groups. group 3 represents leishmania major, while groups 4 and 5 refer to l. tropica showing intraspecific variation with regard to 6pgd. | 1979 | 539855 |
| leishmania spp. in iraq. electrophoretic isoenzyme patterns. ii. cutaneous leishmaniasis. | leishmania organisms isolated from the sores of patients in iraq suffering from cutaneous leishmaniasis were compared between themselves and with leishmania major, l. tropica and l. donovani, all of which had been identified on clinical and geographical grounds. the comparisons were made by examination of the electrophoretic mobilities of seven soluble enzymes: malic enzyme e.c.1.1.1.40; glucose phosphate isomerase e.c.5.3.1.9; glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase e.c.1.1.1.49; phosphoglucomutase e ... | 1980 | 7385297 |
