Leishmania mexicana mutants lacking cysteine proteinase genes cpa (delta cpa), cpb (delta cpb), or both cpa and cpb (delta cpa/cpb) have been generated by targeted gene disruption. Delta cpa mutants produce a disease phenotype in BALB/c mice close to that of wild-type L. mexicana, but delta cpb mutants are much less infective, producing very slowly growing small lesions, and delta cpa/cpb doubl...
Many high-quality genomes are available for dixenous (two hosts) trypanosomatid species of the genera Trypanosoma, Leishmania, and Phytomonas, but only fragmentary information is available for monoxenous (single-host) trypanosomatids. In trypanosomatids, monoxeny is ancestral to dixeny, thus it is anticipated that the genome sequences of the key monoxenous parasites will be instrumental for bot...
C3H mice infected with Leishmania mexicana fail to develop a protective Th1 response, and are unable to cure. In this study, we show that L. mexicana cysteine proteases suppress the antileishmanial immune response. Previous studies demonstrated that deletion of the entire multicopy cysteine protease B (CPB) gene array in L. mexicana is associated with decreased parasite virulence, potentially a...
A leishmania parasite was isolated from Didelphis marsupialis aurita trapped in the municipality of Conchas in the state of São Paulo (YOSHIDA et al. 1979, Rev. Inst. Med. trop. São Paulo 21 (2 ) : 110-113). This isolate has now been analysed at the genotypic and phenotypic levels. Zymodeme analysis using agarose gel electrophoresis and 6 enzymes (ALAT, ASAT, MDH, G6PDH, GPI & PGM) showed that ...
DNA amplification by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was applied in the investigation of the presence of Leishmania (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) parasites in single phlebotomine sandflies. Three phlebotomine/parasite pairs were used: Lutzomyia longipalpis/Leishmania chagasi, Lutzomyia migonei/Leishmania amazonensis and Lutzomyia migonei/Leishmania braziliensis, all of them incriminate...
Previous hypotheses of Leishmania evolution are undermined by limitations in the phylogenetic reconstruction method employed or due to the omission of key parasites. In this experiment, sequences of the gene encoding the DNA polymerase alpha catalytic polypeptide (POLA) were analysed phylogenetically in combination with those encoding the RNA polymerase II largest subunit gene (RPOIILS) to infe...
In the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, 95% of the human cases of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis are caused by Leishmania (Leishmania) mexicana with an incidence rate of 5.08 per 100,000 inhabitants. Transmission is limited to the winter months (November to March). One study on wild rodents has incriminated Ototylomys phyllotis and Peromyscus yucatanicus as primary reservoirs of L. (L.) mexicana in the fo...
We evaluated the adoptive transfer of DCs on Leishmania (L.) mexicana-infected neonatal BALB/c mice. DCs were isolated and purified from the spleens of the following donor groups: a) Adult BALB/c mice infected during adulthood with L. (L) mexicana; b) Adult BALB/c mice infected during neonatal life; c) Healthy neonatal BALB/c mice; d) Healthy adult BALB/c mice. A neonatal model of infection, ge...
Natural product antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been proposed as promising agents against the Leishmania species, insect vector borne protozoan parasites causing the neglected tropical disease leishmaniasis. However, recent studies have shown that the mammalian pathogenic amastigote form of L. mexicana, a causative agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis, is resistant to the amphibian-derived tempo...
