| [the serological examination of the population for leishmaniasis and the detection of leishmania in rodents in the republic of guinea]. | a serological study on leishmaniasis in human population of guinea revealed the percentage of seropositive persons varying in different parts of the country from 0.84 to 4.76 (according to c-elisa) and from 1.0 to 5.1 (according to ifat). the majority of sera positively reacting in c-elisa with the antigen of leishmania major in dilutions of 1:800 and higher were received from kundara district (northwestern part of the country), and with the antigen of l. donovani sensu lato from sigiri and kank ... | 1992 | 1435540 |
| [interepidemic surveillance of a cutaneous leishmaniasis focus in senegal]. | the cutaneous leishmaniasis is rampant in an endemo -epidemic way in the region of thiès, senegal. at the occasion of an epidemic observed between 1975 and 1978, the ecological study of the focus of keur moussa , led by dedet and al., permitted to discover, for the first time in west africa, the structure of a cutaneous leishmaniasis focus. the most important part of the present laboratory work consists in the observation of that wild anthropozoonosis due to leishmania tropica major, having as v ... | 1984 | 6738336 |
| [ecology of a reservoir of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the region of thiès (senegal, west africa). 6. characterization and types of isolated leishmania strains]. | the authors studied the characterisation and typing of leishmania strains isolated in the keur-moussa focus from human lesions (4 strains), from the digestive tract of phlebotomus duboscqi (i strain) and from the rodents mastomys erythroleucus (2 strains) and tatera gambiana (2 strains). they used the following criteria: amastigote measurements, kinetoplast ultrastructure, pathogenicity in mice and hamsters, isoenzymes, kinetoplast and nuclear dna buoyant densities and the adler test. the result ... | 1982 | 7105287 |
| [ecology of a focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the thiès region (senegal, west africa). 6. characterization and typing of the strains of leishmania isolated]. | the authors studied the characterisation and typing of leishmania strains isolated in the keur-moussa focus from human lesions (4 strains), from the digestive tract of phlebotomus duboscqi (i strain) and from the rodents mastomys erythroleucus (2 strains) and tatera gambiana (2 strains). they used the following criteria: amastigote measurements, kinetoplast ultrastructure, pathogenicity in mice and hamsters, isoenzymes, kinetoplast and nuclear dna buoyant densities and the adler test. the result ... | 1982 | 7168884 |
| [ecology of a cutaneous leishmaniasis focus in the thies region (senegal, west africa). 5. spontaneous infection and disease reservoir role of various wild rodent species]. | the authors describe spontaneous infection of mastomys erythroleucus and tatera gambiana by leishmania strains typed as l. major. they argue the reservoir role to these two species and the one of arvicanthis niloticus previously found infected. the possible relations between the fluctuations of rodent populations and the incidence of the human disease are then discussed. | 1981 | 7296732 |
| mastomys natalensis and tatera gambiana as probable reservoirs of human cutaneous leishmaniasis in nigeria. | leishmania sp. was isolated from the livers and spleens of 4 of 56 mastomys natalensis and one of 21 tatera gambiana in keana district, nigeria; none of the rodents had cutaneous lesions. parasites were not found in 42 rattus rattus. experimentally infected mice developed cutaneous lesions characteristic of l. major infection. the organisms could not be cultivated in vitro. | 1995 | 7747299 |
| subulura saloumensis n. sp. (nematoda, subuluroidea) from four species of rodents in senegal. | a new species of the genus subulura is described from 4 new rodent hosts: arvicanthis niloticus, mastomys erythroleucus, mastomys huberti, and tatera gambiana. subulura saloumensis n. sp. differs from the congeneric species by the morphology of its head. the absence of buccal lobes, the length of right and left spicules, the absence of caudal alae, and the existence of a caudal papillae with a sensorial bristle. the latter, which we observe for the first time in specimens gathered from m. hubert ... | 1998 | 9645859 |
| line-1 distribution in six rodent genomes follow a species-specific pattern. | l1 distribution in mammal's genomes is yet a huge riddle. however, these repetitive sequences were already found in all chromosomic regions, and in general, they seem to be nonrandomly distributed in the genome. it also seems that after insertion and when they are not deleterious, they are always involved in dynamic processes occurring on that particular chromosomic region. furthermore, it seems that large-scale genome rearrangements and l1 activity and accumulation are somehow interconnected. i ... | 2016 | 27019429 |
| whipworm diversity in west african rodents: a molecular approach and the description of trichuris duplantieri n. sp. (nematoda: trichuridae). | whipworms were collected from rodents (muridae) from six west african countries: burkina-faso, the islamic republic of mauritania, and the republics of benin, guinea, mali and senegal. molecular sequences (its-1, 5.8s and its-2 of the ribosomal dna gene) and morphometric characters were analysed in trichuris (nematoda: trichuridae) specimens found in seven host species: arvicanthis niloticus, gerbilliscus gambianus, gerbillus gerbillus, g. tarabuli, mastomys erythroleucus, m. huberti and m. nata ... | 2017 | 28210845 |
| ultrastructure of spermiogenesis and the spermatozoon of sudarikovina taterae (cestoda, cyclophyllidea, anoplocephalidae) intestinal parasite of tatera gambiana (rodentia, gerbillidae). | the young spermatid of sudarikovina taterae exhibits a nucleus with a partially condensed chromatin and a differentiation zone, bordered by cortical microtubules, delimited at the front by arched membranes and containing two centrioles. the latter are parallel to one another and linked together at their bases by electron-dense material. during spermiogenesis, one of the centrioles gives rise to a flagellum whereas the other disappears. crested-like bodies lie outside the cortical microtubules an ... | 2000 | 10877112 |
| [epidemiology of cutaneous leishmaniasis in west africa: a systematic review]. | cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) has been described in west africa (wa) since the beginning of the 20th century. the incidence of cases has markedly increased during the last decades in several countries of the region. despite that, data remain scarce and fragmentary. the current incidence and geographic distribution of the disease as well as the involved vectors and reservoirs remain poorly documented. the objective of this review was to collect and analyze available data about cl in wa in order to ... | 2020 | 32881442 |
| non-contiguous finished genome sequence and description of bartonella saheliensis sp. nov. from the blood of gerbilliscus gambianus from senegal. | bartonella saheliensis strain 077 (= csur b644t; = dsm 28003t) is a new bacterial species isolated from blood of the rodent gerbilliscus gambianus captured in the sine-saloum region of senegal. in this work we describe the characteristics of this microorganism, as well as the complete sequence of the genome and its annotation. its genome has 2 327 299 bp (g+c content 38.4%) and codes for 2015 proteins and 53 rna genes. | 2020 | 32300480 |
