Hirotomo Kato,Hiroshi Uezato,Ken Katakura,Manuel Calvopiña,Jorge Diego Marco,Paola Andrea Barroso,Eduardo A. Gomez,Tatsuyuki Mimori,Masataka Korenaga,Hiroyuki Iwata,Shigeo Nonaka,Yoshihisa Hashiguchi +11 more
TL;DR: A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method for detection of Leishmania minicircle DNA within individual sand flies, which will be a powerful tool for the rapid identification of prevalent sand fly and Leishmaniasis species as well as monitoring the infection rate in sand fly populations in endemic areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification method for rapid mass-screening of sand flies for Leishmania infection
Chukwunonso O. Nzelu,Eduardo A. Gomez,Abraham G. Cáceres,Tatsuya Sakurai,Luiggi Martini-Robles,Hiroshi Uezato,Tatsuyuki Mimori,Ken Katakura,Yoshihisa Hashiguchi,Hirotomo Kato +9 more
TL;DR: The robustness, superior sensitivity, and ability to produce better visual discriminatory reaction products than existing LAMP fluorescence and turbidity assays indicated the field potential usefulness of this new method for surveillance and epidemiological studies of leishmaniasis in developing countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of new endemic areas of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Pakistan: a 6-year study.
TL;DR: Some new endemic areas of Cutaneous leishmaniasis in Pakistan are reported, and an outbreak of the disease was observed in the region recently.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequence variation of the cytochrome b gene of various human infecting members of the genus Leishmania and their phylogeny.
G. E. Luyo-Acero,Hiroshi Uezato,Minoru Oshiro,Kimiko Takei,Ken-ichi Kariya,Ken Katakura,E. Gomez-Landires,Yoshihisa Hashiguchi,Shigeo Nonaka +8 more
TL;DR: The nucleotide sequences of the Cyt b gene from 13 human-infecting Leishmania species (14 strains) from the New and Old Worlds were determined, and they showed good agreement with the classification of Lainson & Shaw (1987) except for the inclusion of L. (L.) major in the L.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of tongue inspection and serology for diagnosis of Taenia solium cysticercosis in swine: usefulness of ELISA using purified glycoproteins and recombinant antigen
Mo Sato,Hiroshi Yamasaki,Yasuhito Sako,Minoru Nakao,Kazuhiro Nakaya,A. Plancarte,A. A. Kassuku,Pierre Dorny,Stanny Geerts,Washington Benítez-Ortiz,Yoshihisa Hashiguchi,Akira Ito +11 more
TL;DR: Although pigs may be infected with other taeniid species such as Taenia hydatigena, pigs harbouring this parasite were negative in ELISA, and ELISA using the two antigens was more sensitive than immunoblot and reliable for differentiation of pigs infected with cysticerci of T. solium.
