Belinchon-Lorenzo S, Munoz-Madrid R, Grano F, Iniesta V, Fernandez-Cotrina J, Parejo J, et al.
Vet Parasitol Reg Stud Reports . 2019 Apr; 15:100267. PMID: 30929937
Visceral leishmaniosis (VL) remains a serious public health problem in Brazil. Dogs are the main hosts of the parasite, developing canine leishmaniosis (CanL), hence the importance of an accurate diagnosis...

Fernandez Cotrina J, Iniesta V, Monroy I, Baz V, Hugnet C, Maranon F, et al.
Vaccine . 2018 Mar; 36(15):1972-1982. PMID: 29525281
Canine leishmaniosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Leishmania infantum. Extensive research is currently ongoing to develop safe and effective vaccines to protect from disease development. The European Commission has...

Vet Parasitol . 2016 Oct; 228:65-68. PMID: 27692333
Nowadays, searching for alternative non-invasive methods for molecular diagnosis of canine visceral leishmaniosis is getting increasingly important. We previously described the presence of Leishmania kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) in canine hair;...

Soto M, Corvo L, Garde E, Ramirez L, Iniesta V, Bonay P, et al.
PLoS Negl Trop Dis . 2015 May; 9(5):e0003751. PMID: 25955652
Background: Highly conserved intracellular proteins from Leishmania have been described as antigens in natural and experimental infected mammals. The present study aimed to evaluate the antigenicity and prophylactic properties of...

Munoz-Madrid R, Belinchon-Lorenzo S, Iniesta V, Fernandez-Cotrina J, Parejo J, Serrano F, et al.
Acta Trop . 2013 Aug; 128(3):706-9. PMID: 23973736
The data presented in this paper describe the application of a method for a reliable and non-invasive diagnosis of leishmaniosis in wild reservoirs, based on the detection of Leishmania infantum...

Iniesta V, Belinchon-Lorenzo S, Soto M, Fernandez-Cotrina J, Munoz-Madrid R, Monroy I, et al.
Acta Trop . 2013 Aug; 128(3):468-72. PMID: 23916508
Hair can accumulate foreign chemical or biological substances. Recently, it has been reported that parasite DNA can also be detected in the hair of Leishmania infantum infected dogs. The aim...

Belinchon-Lorenzo S, Iniesta V, Parejo J, Fernandez-Cotrina J, Munoz-Madrid R, Soto M, et al.
Vet Parasitol . 2012 Dec; 192(1-3):43-50. PMID: 23218222
It is known that hair can accumulate environmental toxics and excrete foreign chemical or biological substances. In this context, we hypothesized that foreign DNA could be found in the hair...

Iniesta V, Corraliza I, Carcelen J, Gomez Gordo L, Fernandez-Cotrina J, Parejo J, et al.
Parasitol Res . 2008 Jan; 102(5):887-93. PMID: 18193455
In the present work, we analyzed the humoral response of Leishmania major experimentally infected BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice against three Leishmania antigens: total soluble antigen (soluble leishmania antigen(SLA)), a chimerical...

Iniesta V, Carcelen J, Molano I, Peixoto P, Redondo E, Parra P, et al.
Infect Immun . 2005 Aug; 73(9):6085-90. PMID: 16113329
In a previous work, we demonstrated that the induction of arginase I favored the replication of Leishmania inside macrophages. Now we have analyzed the differential expression of this enzyme in...

Iniesta V, Molano I, Mohedano A, Carcelen J, Miron C, Alonso C, et al.
Parasite Immunol . 2002 May; 24(3):113-8. PMID: 11982856
Leishmania spp. are intracellular protozoan parasites that invade and replicate within macrophages. In a previous report, we have demonstrated that the growth of intracellular amastigotes could be controlled by inhibition...
