| epidemiological and nosological aspects of leishmania naiffi lainson & shaw, 1989. | leishmania naiffi was isolated from 10 out of 64 armadillos (dasypus novemcinctus) examined in amazonas, pará and rondônia states in the brazilian amazon region. the isolates were obtained in culture from samples of liver (3), spleen (3), lymph nodes (2), skin (1) and blood (1) from the infected animals. heavy infections with the same parasite were detected for the first time in psychodopygus squamiventris, a common man-biting phlebotomine, in amazonas and pará. a new case of cutaneous leishmani ... | 1991 | 1842423 |
| cutaneous leishmaniasis of man due to leishmania (viannia) naiffi lainson and shaw, 1989. | until recently mammalian hosts of leishmania (viannia) naiffi lainson & shaw, 1989 have been limited to armadillos, dasypus novemcinctus, in amazonian brazil. past evidence for human cutaneous leishmaniasis due to this parasite is reviewed, and a recent infection in man reported, with identification of the parasite by isoenzyme profiles and a specific monoclonal antibody. the role of some phlebotomine sandfly species as vectors is discussed. | 1990 | 2097934 |
| leishmania (viannia) naiffi sp. n., a parasite of the armadillo, dasypus novemcinctus (l.) in amazonian brazil. | a new leishmanial parasite, leishmania (viannia) naiffi sp. n., is described from the nine-banded armadillo, dasypus novemcinctus (edentata: dasypodidae), from para state, north brazil. the parasite grows luxuriantly in diffco blood-agar medium (b47), but poorly in the skin of intradermally inoculated hamsters. a comparison of isoenzyme profiles by starch gel electrophoresis separates the parasite from l. (v) braziliensis and l. (v.) guyanensis by the enzymes asat, alat, pgm, gpi, g6pd, pep, mpi ... | 1989 | 2930120 |
