Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnostic accuracy of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for detection of Leishmania DNA in buffy coat from visceral leishmaniasis patients

Gulam Musawwir Khan, +5 more
- 03 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: Considering its many fold advantages over conventional PCR and potential to be used as a simple and rapid test in the VL endemic areas of the Indian subcontinent, the findings are encouraging, but further evaluation of LAMP is needed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of anopheline species and their Plasmodium infection status in epidemic-prone border areas of Bangladesh

Mohammad Shafiul Alam, +6 more
- 14 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: Findings of this study suggested that in absence of major malaria vectors there is a possibility that other Anopheles species may have been playing role in malaria transmission in Bangladesh.
Journal ArticleDOI

Iron uptake and regulation in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Simon Labbé, +2 more
- 01 Dec 2013 - 
TL;DR: Results from studies in yeast have shed new light on the role of monothiol glutaredoxins (Grxs) in iron homeostasis, and the Grx4 protein serves as an inhibitory partner for Fep1 in response to iron deficiency, whereas it is required for the inhibition of Php4 under iron-replete conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent advances in post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis.

Dinesh Mondal, +1 more
- 01 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: The incidence of PKDL is reducing in India after introduction of miltefosine and amphotericin B for treatment of visceral leishmaniasis and the efficacy of combination therapy should be explored to reduce the treatment duration and hence to improve treatment compliance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Survey of domestic cattle for anti-Leishmania antibodies and Leishmania DNA in a visceral leishmaniasis endemic area of Bangladesh.

Mohammad Shafiul Alam, +7 more
- 08 Jun 2011 - 
TL;DR: The study confirmed the presence of antibodies against Leishmania parasite in cattle, however, the absence of Leishmanial DNA in the cattle indicates clearly that the cattle do not play a role as reservoir host.
