Study on the transmission of leishmaniasis in Latin to animals

Abstract

The study of injuries and features offered leishmaniasis produced experimentally in animals, is hot topic despite significant work Laveran and others. In the desire to help clarify some topics on the etiology, unity, plurality or association of factors that determine possibly different clinical varieties, we have undertaken studies of transmission, we will expose. Laverán achieved by transmitting the infection leíshmaniásíca scraping inoculations products or crops in the peritoneum of five mice. Infection particular location offered by the testes. Realizing inoculations in these organs with a few drops of culture of Leishmania tropica, also got five infected mice gave identical symptoms and the same injuries that they have suffered intraperitoneal inoculation. Inoculations series have also been fruitful, as the product of testítulos crushing an infected mouse testicular lesions result achieved on two guinea pigs that received injections into the bladder; lesions were limited only to the testicle which had inoculation. Here's how to describe the lesions produced experimentally; allow the verbatim transcript to highlight the differences between their results and ours.
