Published: November 1989

The concomitant presence of two zymodemes of the leishmania infantum complex. MON-1 and MON-77, is reported in a dog with diffuse leishmaniasis. The zymodemes were present in both the skin and lymph nodes. Possible explanations for the presence of the two zymodemes are discussed.

  • *2! It finds that parasite survival rates in various cell models can predict treatment success, with Sb-resistant strains being associated with higher odds of treatment failure and larger lesion sizes in mouse models.
  • *3! Host risk factors also complicate the interpretation of treatment outcomes, indicating that both parasite characteristics and patient conditions play critical roles in the effectiveness of leishmaniasis treatment.

The tribal population in and around the Western Ghats region of India is affected by both cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) and visceral leishmaniasis (VL) with typical clinical symptoms. In this study, we recorded and analyzed seven CL and three VL cases from this emerging belt. All the cases were found as autochthonous transmission.

In 2009, a large outbreak of leishmaniasis, associated with environmental changes, was declared near Madrid (Spain), in which was the vector, whereas the main reservoirs were hares and rabbits. Analysis of isolates from humans, vectors and leporids from the focus identified the ITS-Lombardi genotype. However, multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE), the reference technique for typing, and sequencing of the gene, a commonly used marker, were not performed.

Background: Leishmaniasis is a zoonotic disease endemic in the Mediterranean region where Leishmania infantum is the causative agent of human and canine infection. Characterization of this parasite at the subspecies level can be useful in epidemiological studies, to evaluate the clinical course of the disease (e.g.
