Journal ArticleDOI
Visceral leishmaniasis in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Eduardo Silva,Célia Maria Ferreira Gontijo,Raquel S. Pacheco,Vanessa O.P Fiuza,Reginaldo Peçanha Brazil +4 more
TL;DR: The age distribution of visceral leishmaniasis cases in the MRBH shows a higher prevalence in children from 0-4 years old, responsible for 28.9% of the notifications, and an urbanization of the disease in this region of Minas Gerais.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of naturally infected Lutzomyia intermedia and Lutzomyia migonei with Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) revealed by a PCR multiplex non-isotopic hybridisation assay.
Daniela de Pita-Pereira,Carlos Roberto Alves,Marcos Barbosa de Souza,Reginaldo Peçanha Brazil,Álvaro Luiz Bertho,André F. Barbosa,Constança Britto +6 more
TL;DR: The results presented here represent the first molecular approach used to infer the natural infection index in both Lutzomyia spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
PCR-based diagnosis for detection of Leishmania in skin and blood of rodents from an endemic area of cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil
Fernanda Santos de Oliveira,Claude Pirmez,Marize Q Pires,Reginaldo Peçanha Brazil,Raquel S. Pacheco +4 more
TL;DR: This work is the first report of the detection of L. (L.) chagasi in a naturally infected T. rattus and T. apereoides, and the utility of filter paper as a substrate for PCR analyses and the efficacy of the procedure associated to the hybridization is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural Leishmania infantum infection in Migonemyia migonei (França, 1920) (Diptera:Psychodidae:Phlebotominae) the putative vector of visceral leishmaniasis in Pernambuco State, Brazil.
Maria Rosimery de Carvalho,Hélio França Valença,Fernando José da Silva,Daniela de Pita-Pereira,Thaís de Araújo Pereira,Constança Britto,Reginaldo Peçanha Brazil,Sinval Pinto Brandão Filho +7 more
TL;DR: The analysis of M. migonei, collected by CDC light trap, by multiplex PCR assay coupled to non-isotopic hybridization showed that 2 females out of 50 were infected by L. infantum suggesting that M. migraineonei may be the vector of L. infants in areas of visceral leishmaniasis where Lutzomyia longipalpis, the usual vector, is absent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of natural infection in Lutzomyia cruzi and Lutzomyia forattinii (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) by Leishmania infantum chagasi in an endemic area of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil using a PCR multiplex assay.
Daniela de Pita-Pereira,M. A. Cardoso,Carlos Roberto Alves,Reginaldo Peçanha Brazil,Constança Britto +4 more
TL;DR: Results confirm the vectorial role of Lu.
