At F. 6.3-8 Ovid lays claim to the kind of vatic authority (cf. fas mihi praecipue… , ‘I have a special right’, 7) which entitles him to a visitation from Juno (13ff.); but this pose soon turns out to be less stable and assured than he would have us believe at the start of the book (cf. facta canam , ‘I shall sing the truth’, 3). Cautioned by Paris' experience and the dangers implicit in favouring one goddess over others in a competitive iudicium (99f), he proves unable to judge between Juno, Juventas and ...

Sixty-five patients were diagnosed with visceral leishmaniasis (VL) on Margarita Island in the decade from 1990 to1999; 86.2% were <= 3 years old. All were leishmanin-negative at diagnosis. Evaluation of 23 cured patients in 1999 revealed that 22/23 had converted to leishmanin-positive; five had persisting antibodies to rK39 antigen, with no clinical evidence of disease. Leishmanin tests were positive in 20.2% of 1,643 healthy individuals from 417 households in endemic areas. Of the positive reactors, ...

OBJECTIVE: To report recent data on the distribution of human and canine visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Venezuela, and to highlight problems associated with effective control measures. METHODS: We report the number of cases, incidence rate, age and sex distribution, and mortality rates for human VL (HVL) for the period of 1995 through 2000, based on National Registry of Leishmaniasis data. We carried out serological studies on a total of 3 025 domestic dogs from the 12 states in Venezuela reporting ...

American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) presents a spectrum of clinical and immunological manifestations. Since the nature of the cellular response appears to play a fundamental role in determining the characteristics of the immunoglobulin isotype of specific antibody responses, we have compared the relative levels of specific antibodies of the four IgG isotypes against Leishmania in sera from patients with different clinical manifestations of ACL. Using a specific antibody capture assay, significant ...

The frequency of American visceral leishmaniasis affecting humans on Margarita Island, Venezuela, has increased in recent years, and infected dogs appear to constitute the principal source of infection. ELISA tests with Leishmania donovani promastigotes and rK39 antigen from L. chagasi in serum from 541 dogs were positive in 33.1% and 21.6% of the samples, respectively. A second blood sample taken from 50 animals after 8–10 months revealed an increase from 24% to 40% of ELISA positivity to both ...

Lepromatous leprosy and diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis are the severe, progressive polar forms of disease characterized by persistent T cell anergy. Relative concentrations of antibodies belonging to the four IgG isotypes have been determined in these forms of disease as well as active visceral leishmaniasis, which presents transitory T cell anergy.

Human visceral leishmaniasis is a serious public health problem in endemic countries because of its high potential lethality, particularly in children. Rapid diagnosis is essential to early treatment and control of visceral leishmaniasis.The aim was to compare three serodiagnostic tools for human visceral leishmaniasis.Three methods were compared: the rK39 dipstick (Kalazar detection test, Inbios International Inc.), ELISA rK26 and direct agglutination test (DAT) (KIT Biomedical Research).

Since the most ancient of times, eclipses—solar eclipses in particular—have been viewed as harbingers of misfortune. It was for this reason that in Babylonian times enormous efforts were made to predict eclipses and avert their most ill-starred effects on the King, who was the earthly representative of the god who is represented in the sky by the Sun. The existence of a Mesopotamian ritual for warding off the evil consequences of eclipses (documented particularly under the reigns of Asarhaddon from ...

The study of the IgG subclasses of antibodies across the clinical spectrum of leprosy id not reveal differences that could be related to the Th1/Th2 dichotomy; the predominance of antibodies of the IgG1, 2 and 3 subclasses suggest a possible Th1 response across the spectrum in Venezuelan patients. In contrast, the anergic form of American cutaneous leishmaniasis was characterized by a strong IgG4 specific antibody response, suggesting a Th2 response, while localized forms of the disease appeared ...

Background: Clinical manifestations of leishmaniasis vary depending on parasite virulence and host immune response. While immunocompetent individuals have an effective Leishmania-specific response that makes the infection asymptomatic or at least subclinical in most cases, immunosuppressed patients are at risk of developing the disease. TNF-alfa mediated response is crucial for the control of several opportunistic infections caused by intracellular microorganisms such as Leishmania. Some cases of ...
