| rapid identification of causative species in patients with old world leishmaniasis. | conventional methods for the identification of species of leishmania parasite causing infections have limitations. by using a dna-based alternative, the present study tries to develop a new tool for this purpose. thirty-three patients living in marseilles (in the south of france) were suffering from visceral or cutaneous leishmaniasis. dna of the parasite in clinical samples (bone marrow, peripheral blood, or skin) from these patients were amplified by pcr and were directly sequenced. the sequen ... | 1997 | 9316906 |
| [leishmania infantum nicolle, 1908, the agent of the autochthonous oriental sore. apropos of the biochemical identification of 2 strains isolated in the eastern pyrenees]. | two strains of parasites isolated from cases of oriental sore in the pyrénées-orientales were identified by electrophoretic analysis of eight isoenzymes (pgm, pgi, g-6-pdh, 6-pgdh, idh, mdh, me and got). both strains were identical with leishmania infantum nicolle, 1908, which normally causes visceral leishmaniasis. it is probable that, in the mediterranean region, some cutaneous lesions observed within the area of visceral leishmaniasis are caused by this species rather than by leishmania tropi ... | 1980 | 6780226 |
| leishmaniasis in south-eastern france- -ecology, epidemiology, prophylaxis. | a study of the ecology, epidemiology and prophylaxis of leishmaniasis in the southeast of france is reported; different methods of the survey are recorded. between 1965 and 1975, 972 cases of canine leishmaniasis and from 1968 to 1975 89 cases of visceral human leishmaniasis and only 3 cases of oriental sore were observed in the "bouches du rhône", "var" and "vaucluse" departments. the strains isolated from canine and human visceral leishmaniasis had a malate dehydrogenase xi whereas leishmania ... | 1975 | 7125 |
