Three PCR assays for diagnosing leishmaniasis were compared and validated against
parasite cultures and microscopic evaluation of stained tissue smears using 92 specimens from …

… Infections caused by this species vary, displaying a broad spectrum of disease conditions
with quite different clinical manifestations (SCHNUR & GREENBIATT, 1995). L. tropica has …

The features of 70 cases of bacterial endocarditis are reported. Streptococcus viridans was
the cause in 45 per cent, staphylococci in 27 per cent, and enterococci in 7 per cent. …

Background Three major forms of human disease, cutaneous leishmaniasis, visceral
leishmaniasis and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, are caused by several leishmanial species …

Seven mixed‐breed dogs were challenged with either promastigotes or amastigotes of
Leishmania donovani infantum strains recently isolated from naturally infected dogs. Different …

… Clinically, lesions caused by L. tropica last longer and are more difficult to treat than those
caused by L. major (6). Although L. tropica can be anthroponotic, foci in Israel appear to be …

This study describes a new focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) due to Leishmania tropica
in the Galilee region of northern Israel. Thirty-three cases from 4 villages (northern part) …

The global importance of human leishmanial infection has been realised mainly in recent
years. It has become increasingly apparent that accurate identification of the causative …

The current rapid spread of leishmaniases caused by Leishmania tropica and the complexity
of its clinical spectrum call for this parasite's epidemiological and evolutionary investigation. …

… In the present study we have elucidated the structures of the LPGs from L. tropica , L.
aethiopica and two new strains of L. major to determine the extent of inter- and intra-specific LPG …
