| rapid enzymological identification of leishmanial isolates in kenya. | leishmanial isolates from kenya were identified as being either leishmania major, l. donovani or l. aethiopica by using cellulose acetate electrophoresis. species determination is based on the electrophoretic pattern for glucose phosphate isomerase alone. this report describes the technique and presents data on its reliability as a rapid identification test for leishmania isolates from the same geographical region. | 1985 | 4082254 |

| prevalence of antibodies and cell mediated immune response against leishmania major in feral nonhuman primates from kenya. | in kenya, leishmania major is responsible for human cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl). natural infection with l. major of a vervet monkey and experimental susceptibility of some nonhuman primates (nhps) from kenya has been established. however, there has been no comprehensive study of the prevalence of zoonotic cl in kenya. and also, no investigation has been done to assess whether nhps could be potential reservoir hosts of l. major even when the involvement of reservoir animals is obligatory in tran ... | 2009 | 18983806 |
| in vivo efficacy of oral and intraperitoneal administration of extracts of warburgia ugandensis (canellaceae) in experimental treatment of old world cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by leishmania major. | the antileishmanial activity of extracts of warburgia ugandensis spraque (canellaceae), a known traditional therapy in kenya was evaluated in vivo. treatment of infected balb/c mice with w. ugandensis extracts orally resulted in a reduction of the size of lesions compared to the untreated control. the lesion sizes differed significantly for the four extracts (p=0.039) compared to the untreated control. for mice treated by intraperitoneal injection, the lesion sizes increased initially for the he ... | 2009 | 20209014 |
