This work describes the diagnosis and successful treatment of a 2-year-old domestic cat infected with Leishmania species and presenting fever, and ulcerative and nodular skin lesions after being treated for pyodermatitis for 1 year without clinical improvement. After anamnesis the cat was submitted to a complete clinical examination. Blood was collected for determination of haematological […]

The genera Babesia and Theileria (phylum Apicomplexa, order Piroplasmida) are mainly transmitted by Ixodid ticks in which the sexual part of their life cycle followed by sporogony takes place. They include protozoan parasites that infect erythrocytes of a variety of vertebrate hosts, including domestic and wild animals, with some Babesia spp. also infecting humans. Babesia […]

Histopathology, humoral and cellular immune response in the murine model of Leishmania (Viannia) shawi

  • Autores: Corbett CE, Laurenti MD, Marques C, Passero LF, Santos-Gomes G, Vale-Gato I
  • Journal: Parasitology International
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Histopathology%2C+humoral+and+cellular+immune+response+in+the+murine+model+of+Leishmania+(Viannia)+shawi

Leishmania (Viannia) shawi was recently characterized and few studies concerning modifications in cellular and humoral immune responses in experimental leishmaniasis have been conducted. In this work, immunopathological changes induced by L. shawi in chronically infected BALB/c mice were investigated.

Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) caused by the protozoan parasite Leishmania infantum is a chronic systemic disease that is endemic in certain parts of the world. The domestic dog is the most important reservoir of L. infantum and is the main source of infection for other animals and for the human population.
