Leishmania mexicana causes localized (LCL) or diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis (DCL). The cause of dissemination in DCL remains unknown, yet NK cells possibly play a role activating leishmanicidal mechanisms during innate and adaptive immune responses. We had previously shown that lipophosphoglycan (LPG) is ligand for TLR2, human cells. have now analyzed LCL patients. numbers effector differed drastically between both groups patients: patients showed reduced cell numbers; diminished IFN-γ...
Eosinophils are mainly associated with parasitic infections and allergic manifestations. They produce many biologically active substances that contribute to the destruction of pathogens through degranulation microbicidal components inflammatory tissue effects. In leishmaniasis, eosinophils have been found within infiltrate protective immunity against parasite. We analyzed responses from patients localized (LCL) diffuse (DCL) cutaneous as well healthy subjects, when exposed Leishmania...
La leishmaniasis y la enfermedad de Chagas son causadas por protozoarios que comparten características filogenéticas eco-epidemiológicas comunes, lo cual provoca dificultad en su identificación diagnóstico. El objetivo este trabajo fue analizar información disponible sobre las técnicas T. cruzi, Leishmania spp. coinfección con ambos parásitos, así como impacto obtención datos eco-epidemiológicos. Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática para o ambos. Los estudios se clasificaron agente...
Thaumasioscolex didelphidis n. gen., sp. is described from the intestine of black-eared opossum Didelphis marsupialis L. (Marsupialia: Didelphidae) Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico. The new genus differs all proteocephalidean genera in morphology scolex that formed by 4 well separated lobes each containing 1 noncircular sucker opening laterally inside exterolateral cavity, a large-sized body (length up to m), large number testes, shape gravid proglottids are inversely craspedote (the anterior...
: Localized cutaneous leishmaniasis is a neglected vector-borne disease that has become serious public health problem in the Yucatan Peninsula. Although more than 60% of cases originate from state Quintana Roo, it one least explored areas terms incriminating vectors Leishmania parasite. Additionally, have increased substantially region recent years. For this reason, we and provided primary evidence DNA sand fly species four localities during outbreaks Roo. We also contributed information on...
Leishmania infantum is the causal agent of cutaneous and visceral canine leishmaniasis, a disease widely described in Europe Latin America. This study describes case Canary mastiff breed, born Mexico that was referred to consult by an alopecic lesion generalized lymph adenomegaly. Diagnosis leishmaniasis established impression smears showed amastigotes within macrophages. Due poor body condition animal, euthanasia necropsy were conducted samples taken from skin, nodes, liver, kidney, spleen...
