Espir, Thaís Tibery; Figueira, Luanda de Paula; Naiff, Maricleide de Farias; Costa, Allyson Guimarães da; Ramalho-Ortigão, Marcelo; Malheiro, AdrianaThe authors discuss in this paper the role of inflammatory, anti-inflammatory, and regulatory cytokines in patients infected with different species of Leishmania in Amazonas State, Brazil. A comparative analysis was made of serum concentrations of these cytokines in the peripheral blood of 33 patients infected with cutaneous leishmaniasis. The isolates were identified as Leishmania guyanensis, L. naiffi, and L....

Figueira, Luanda de Paula; Zanotti, Michele; Pinheiro, Francimeire Gomes; Franco, A. M.Twenty-three isolates of Leishmania sp from patients in the municipalities of Rio Preto da Eva and Manaus were characterized and identified by means of isoenzyme electrophoresis and the degree of similarity between the organisms was analyzed. The results indicated that Leishmania guyanensis and Leishmania naiffi were present in these two environments and that the Leishmania naiffi samples were heterogenous.

Figueira, Luanda de Paula; Soares, Fabiane Veloso; Naiff, Roberto Daibes; Vinhote-silva, Alana Cristina; Silva, Susi Simas da; Espir, Thaís TiberyPoucos casos de leishmaniose cutânea humana (LC) causada por Leishmania naiffi foram descritos na literatura médica. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi relatar e analisar novos casos de infecção por L. naiffi no período compreendido entre os anos de 1992 a 2011. As cepas foram caracterizadas por análise de isoenzimas. Todos os pacientes atendidos apresentavam lesões pequenas; variando entre 1,0x1,0 mm e 13,5x11...

Reis, Sonia Rolim; Gomes, Luis Henrique Monteiro; Ferreira, Natália Mota; Nery, Liliane Coelho da Rocha; Pinheiro, Francimeire GomesA leishmaniose é uma antropozoonose com focos naturais, nos quais a infecção é mantida em ecótopos silvestres entre a população de vetores e seus hospedeiros vertebrados. Neste estudo foram identificadas espécies de flebotomíneos envolvidas na transmissão de leishmaniose tegumentar no Bairro Cidade de Deus, onde há focos da doença humana e animal. O bairro está situado à margem da reserva florestal Adolpho Duck...

Soares, Fabiane Veloso; Freitas, Rui Alves de; Figueira, Luanda de Paula; Franco, Antonia Maria RamosThe sand flies transmit diseases to humans and animals, such as arboviruses and bartonellosis, besides the leishmaniasis. The objective of this research was identified potential vectors of this disease in the municipality of Tabatinga. Sand flies were captured with Miniature Light Trap and manual collection by aspiration at the bases of trees. In the months of August 2010 and 2011, were captured 4,542 sand flie...
