Leishmania donovani is the known causative agent of both cutaneous (CL) and visceral leishmaniasis in Sri Lanka. CL is considered to be under-reported partly due to relatively poor sensitivity and specificity of microscopic diagnosis. We compared robustness of three previously described polymerase c

Kerr L1, Kendall C2, Sousa CA1, Frota CC3, Graham J4, Rodrigues L5, Fernandes RL6, Barreto ML7.
Acta tropica.Acta Trop.2015 Dec;152:74-9. doi: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2015.07.023. Epub 2015 Jul 29.
Several factors suggest that armadillos present an important risk for human leprosy infection. This study uses semi-structured interviews to better illustrate how human interaction with armadillos may increase the risk of leprosy transmission. The participants were all residents of the state of Cear

In DNA vaccines, the gene of interest is cloned into a bacterial plasmid that is engineered to induce protein production for long periods in eukaryotic cells. Previous research has shown that the intramuscular immunization of BALB/c mice with a naked plasmid DNA fragment encoding the Mycobacterium l
