| is the domestic dog (canis familiaris) a reservoir host of american cutaneous leishmaniasis? a critical review of the current evidence. | originally associated with forested areas, the transmission cycle of american cutaneous leishmaniasis (acl) has now adapted to the domestic environment in at least 9 latin american countries. several studies have suggested that the domestic dog (canis familiaris), which is already incriminated as the primary reservoir host of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis (zvl), may have a reservoir role in the domestic transmission of human acl caused by leishmania braziliensis, l. panamensis, and l. peruvian ... | 1999 | 10548285 |
| immunoglobulin g and immunoglobulin m polar staining of toxoplasma gondii in the indirect immunofluorescence test. | polar staining (ps) of toxoplasma gondii in the indirect immunofluorescence test has been considered a nonspecific reaction caused exclusively by certain immunoglobulin m (igm) antibodies and confined to the anterior end of the parasite. after we observed a patient with positive serology for chagas' disease who presented an igg ps reaction, we studied sera from 120 patients with chagas' disease, 20 sera from patients with leishmania donovani infection, and 30 sera from patients with leishmania b ... | 1980 | 6796601 |
