| identification of leishmania tropica from micro-foci of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the kenyan rift valley. | we performed diagnosis and species identification of parasites in lesion samples from suspected cutaneous leishmaniasis patients in four villages, three of which are in a known leishmania tropica endemic region in kenya. samples were analyzed both by microscopy and pcr for leishmania, and typed by an assay using four ribosomal dna-based species-identification pcrs. the lesions were demonstrated to be caused by l. tropica, which confirms the re-emergence of cutaneous leishmaniasis from this speci ... | 2012 | 23265373 |
| visceral leishmaniasis unresponsive to pentostam caused by leishmania tropica in kenya. | we report the characterization of 6 leishmania tropica isolates from 2 patients with visceral leishmaniasis who were unresponsive to treatment with sodium stibogluconate. the leishmania isolates, mhom/ke/81/nlb-029a, -029xib, and -029xic and mhom/ke/81/nlb-030i, -030b, and -030xxa, all from splenic aspirates, were characterized by cellulose acetate electrophoresis using 11 enzymes: malate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme, phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, superoxide d ... | 1989 | 2552850 |
| cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by leishmania tropica in kenya. | 9 leishmanial strains, isolated from cutaneous papulonodular lesions on 3 patients, were characterized by cellulose acetate electrophoresis using 7 enzymes. the patterns obtained were indistinguishable from those of a leishmania tropica reference strain and these 9 strains were similar to l. tropica in failing to infect mice. although these 3 patients were americans, their only potential exposure to sandflies was in kenya, and thus they are believed to be the first cases of cutaneous leishmanias ... | 1987 | 3503409 |
| experimental acquisition, development, and transmission of leishmania tropica by phlebotomus duboscqi. | we report experimental infection and transmission of leishmania tropica (wright), by the blood-feeding sand fly phlebotomus duboscqi (neveu-lemaire). groups of laboratory-reared female sand flies that fed "naturally" on l. tropica-infected hamsters, or artificially, via membrane feeding device, on a suspension of l. tropica amastigotes, were dissected at progressive time points post-feeding. acquisition, retention and development of l. tropica through procyclic, nectomonad, and leptomonad stages ... | 2013 | 22975149 |
| phlebotomine sand fly (diptera: psychodidae) seasonal distribution and infection rates in a defined focus of leishmania tropica. | a two-year study was conducted of phlebotomine sand fly fauna in a defined focus of leishmania tropica. a total of 17,947 sand flies representing 10 species were collected from the location. phlebotomus guggisbergi, a vector of l. tropica in kenya, was the most prevalent species through the entire period, representing about 80% of the total catch. there was marked seasonal fluctuation in the populations of the three most common species, with highest population levels reached in december and lowe ... | 1999 | 10344664 |
