Leishmania tarentolae molecular signatures in a 300 hundred-years-old human Brazilian mummy

1 Jan 2015

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: L. tarentolae, the lizard-infecting species of Old World geckos, has been classified as non-pathogenic to man. While it has been demonstrated that L. tarentolae is capable of infecting human phagocytic cells and to differentiate into amastigote-like forms, there is no clear evidence for its efficient replication within macrophages. Here we provide first evidence for L. tarentolae ancient DNA sequences...
