Résumé
La transmission de la leishmaniose tégumenta¡re due á Leishmania (Viannia)
braziliensis dépend á la fois de l'environnement et des act¡v¡tés humaines.
Dans les zones cultivées des Yungas les habitants sont infectés, ...
The microdistribution of isoenzymic strains of Trypanosoma cruzi in southern Bolivia; new isoenzyme profiles and further arguments against Mendelian sexuality
(Transactions of The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1984)
Abstract.
132 Trypanosoma cruzi stocks were collected in southern Bolivia (99 stocks in Tupiza, 33 in Tarija), and were characterized using five enzymes (six loci). From these 132 stocks, a sample of 21 was studied using ...
Leishmaniasis en Bolivia: Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva, 1912) Vector de Kala - azar en los Yungas
(Instituto Boliviano de Biología de Altura, 1983)
Summary.
The epidemiological study of kala-azar in the "Yungas" focus shows that L. longipalpis, a predominant phlebotomine sandfly in peridomestic areas (96% of catches) is the main vector, Dissections of L. longipalpis ...
Specific IgE antibodies to Leishmania braziliensis in patients with mucocutaneous leishmaniasis
(Ann. Immunol., 1983)
Abstract
A total of 116 sera of patients suffering from South American mucocutaneous leishmaniasis were analysed using the RAST (L. braziliensis-specific) and RIST techniques. Results of total and specific IgE levels were ...
Human visceral leishmaniasis in Bolivia: first proven autochthonous case from "Los Yungas"
(Transactions of The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1983)
On 25th February, 1982, a boy aged two years and two months was brought to the Children's Hospital in La Paz with a six-month history of diarrhoea, vomiting, fever and asthenia. On 14th April, a tentative diagnosis of ...
Association between Trypanosoma cruzi zymodemes and specific humoral depression in chronic chagasic patients
(Transantions of The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1989)
We previously rerported four autochthonous cases of Chagas disease in Bolivia, presenting a particular
pattern of negative serology with positive xenodiagnosis (Brenière et al., 1984). To date, we have observed
13 similar ...
Isozyme evidence of lack of speciation between wild and domestic triatoma infestans (Heteroptera: reduviidae) in Bolivia
(J. Med. Entomol., 1987-01)
Abstract Wild and domestic Triatoma infestans from
the Cochabamba region of Bolivia were virtually identical at l9 gene loci coding for enzymes. No allele was
distinctive of either the wild or the domestic populations. ...
The interest of immunoprecipitation tests in the immunological diagnosis of Chagas'disease
(Ann. Soc. Belge Med. Trop., 1985)
Summary
lmmunoelectrophoresis (lEP) and a double diffusion microtest (MD) were
evaluated for ¡mmunological diagnosis of Chagas' d¡sease, using 527 sera from Bolivian
patients. The specificity of, the tests was given by ...
Addional data on Trypanosoma cruzi isozymic strains encountered in Bolivian domestic transmission cycles
(Transantions of The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1986)
Abstract
We have collected in Bolivia 212 stocks of Trypanosoma cruzi from domestic transmission cycles and
have assayed for nine enzyme systems (11 gene loci). Only a few different isozyme profiles exist,
without ...
