[Leish-l] L. infantum in the hindgut?

[Arias, Jorge Dr.]

Are they attached to the gut wall? If not, it may be due to presure while dissecting the gut out.

Best wishes,



Jorge Arias

Dear all,
maybe there is an influence of carbohydrates in the localization of promastigotes in the gut, as observed by Añez et al. some years ago.

Dear all,

Dr. Ivete Mendonça, in Teresina, Brazil, has consistently and systematically been observing promastigotes xenodiagnosis performed in dogs in the hindgut and rectal ampulla of Lutzomyia longipalpis. We are not sure if they are really L. infantum or Viannia. Does anybody has observed the same thing?

By the way, any suggestions of primers to discriminate Leishmania from Viannia?

Many thanks,

Carlos.
