Journal ArticleDOI
Randomised vaccine trial of single dose of killed Leishmania major plus BCG against anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in Bam, Iran.
Iraj Sharifi,Alireza Fekri,Mohammad Reza Aflatoonian,Ali Khamesipour,Abolhassan Nadim,Mohammad-Reza Ahmadi Mousavi,Ali Momeni,Y Dowlati,Tore Godal,Fabio Zicker,Pete Smith,Farrokh Modabber +11 more
TL;DR: A single dose of ALM + BCG was safe and more immunogenic than BCG alone, as measured by leishmanin skin test, and the preferential protective effect in boys may have resulted from a greater booster effect produced by repeated exposure to infected sandflies.
Journal ArticleDOI
First generation leishmaniasis vaccines : A review of field efficacy trials
Sassan Noazin,Farrokh Modabber,Farrokh Modabber,Farrokh Modabber,Ali Khamesipour,Pete Smith,Lawrence H. Moulton,Kiumarss Nasseri,Iraj Sharifi,Eltahir A G Khalil,Iván Darío Vélez Bernal,Carlos Antunes,Marie Paule Kieny,Marcel Tanner +13 more
TL;DR: A collective view is provided on the methods and findings of field efficacy trials of first generation leishmaniasis vaccine clinical trials conducted in the Old and New Worlds.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomised, double-blind, controlled trial of a killed L. major vaccine plus BCG against zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in Iran
Ali Momeni,Tahmores Jalayer,Morteza Emamjomeh,Ali Khamesipour,Fabio Zicker,Reza Labaf Ghassemi,Yahya Dowlati,Iraj Sharifi,Mali Aminjavaheri,Ali Shafiei,Mohammad Hossein Alimohammadian,Reza Hashemi-Fesharki,Kiumarss Nasseri,Tore Godal,Pete Smith,Farrokh Modabber +15 more
TL;DR: A single dose of ALM + BCG is not sufficiently immunogenic to provide a measurable response when compared to BCG alone; hence, multiple doses or other adjuvants should be considered to increase its immunogenicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Waste-grass-mediated green synthesis of silver nanoparticles and evaluation of their anticancer, antifungal and antibacterial activity.
Mehrdad Khatami,Iraj Sharifi,Marcos Augusto Lima Nobre,Niloofar Zafarnia,Mohammad Reza Aflatoonian +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the average size of silver nanoparticles was found to be twice the size of gold nanoparticles, and grass waste was used for transforming an inexpensive waste into health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of killed whole-parasite vaccines in the prevention of leishmaniasis: a meta-analysis.
Sassan Noazin,Ali Khamesipour,Lawrence H. Moulton,Marcel Tanner,Kiumarss Nasseri,Farrokh Modabber,Iraj Sharifi,Eltahir A G Khalil,Iván Darío Vélez Bernal,Carlos Antunes,Pete Smith +10 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of qualified trials indicates that the whole-parasite vaccine candidates tested do not confer significant protection against human leishmaniasis.
