| genetic polymorphisms and drug susceptibility in four isolates of leishmania tropica obtained from canadian soldiers returning from afghanistan. | cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) is a vector-borne parasitic disease characterized by the presence of one or more lesions on the skin that usually heal spontaneously after a few months. most cases of cl worldwide occur in southwest asia, africa and south america, and a number of cases have been reported among troops deployed to afghanistan. no vaccines are available against this disease, and its treatment relies on chemotherapy. the aim of this study was to characterize parasites isolated from canad ... | 2012 | 22272366 |
| indigenous human cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by leishmania tropica in kenya. | six leishmania isolates from 3 indigenous kenyans (2 isolates from one patient) and 2 canadian visitors in kenya were characterized by cellulose acetate electrophoresis. the isolates were compared among themselves and with reference strains of leishmania donovani, l. aethiopica, l. major, l. tropica, and l. arabica using 9 enzymes: malate dehydrogenase (mdh), malic enzyme (me), phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6pgd), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd), aspartate aminotransferase (asat), ade ... | 1988 | 3177740 |
