An outbreak of suspected cutaneous leishmaniasis in Ghana
Human cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) has previously been reported in West Africa, but more recently, sporadic reports of CL have increased. Leishmania major has been identified from Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, and Burkina Faso. Three zymodemes (MON-26, MON-117, and MON-74, the most frequent) have been found. The geographic range of leishmaniasis is limited by the sand fly vector, its feeding preferences, and its capacity to support internal developm…
Low-cost liquid medium for in vitro cultivation of Leishmania parasites in low-income countries
BACKGROUND: Prompt laboratory diagnosis and initiation of treatment are effective components of leishmaniasis control. Detection of Leishmania parasites by ex-vivo culture of lesion scrapings is considered a definitive diagnostic method preceding initiation of treatment. OBJECTIVE: A pilot study to find alternative medium that could reduce the cost of culturing from patient lesions for diagnosing leishmaniasis. METHOD: GALF-1 medium was formulate…
