[Leish-l] Leishmania RNA virus

[Beverley, Stephen]

HI folks,

The Leishmania (Viannia) guyanensis WHO reference strain M4147 contains LRV1.   As such, this strain is widely available.
Lgy M4147 is one of the first in which LRVs was discovered, and the first for which a link between LRV1 and virulence was reported.

Note that by the recent changes in LRV1 nomenclature adopted by the International Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses in 2014,
the proper name for this virus is now LRV1-LgyM4147  (virus species – host species/strain where isolated).   Formerly it was termed LRV 1-4.

Dear Felipe,
  Dr. Simon Croft was the person who work with it for a long time (back to the old
day at Liverpool STM )and I am sure we here (IOC-Fiocruz) in the Leishmania bank
collection (Dra. Elisa Cupollilo) may have some of the Leishmania strain with
virus.
   best,
Reginaldo
