Foxhounds, Operation Desert Storm, Pack Rats
review about leishmaniasis and Lutzomyia in a foxhound kennel in Duchess County, New York; which is across the river from West Point, well north of the city.

The recent peer review material reflects a focus on cases of leishmaniasis now being handled by the US Veteran's Administration (VA).

Also reflected in the peer review articles is a preponderance of Texas leishmaniasis cases that are related to Neotoma micropus, a pack rat, something like 27 cases in 9 years in the State of Texas. --McDogm 22:11, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Hey...
"An important aspect of the Leishmania protozoan is its glycoconjugate layer of liphosphoglycan (LPG). This is held together with a phosphoinositide membrane anchor, and has a tripartite structure consisting of a lipid domain, a neutral hexasaccharide, and a phosphrorylated galactose-mannose, with a termination in a neutral cap. Not only do these parasites develop post-phlebotomus digestion but, it is thought to be essential to oxidative bursts, thus allowing passage for infection. Chararacteristics of intracellular digestion include an endosome fusing with a lysosome, releasing acid hydrolases which degrade DNA, RNA, proteins and carbohydrates."

Any possible way that this can be put in more understandable terms? -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.219.85.35 (talk • contribs)


 * You're right - it does look a little dense; I'll work on this in the next day or two. Maybe a few references, too. -- MarcoTolo 04:12, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

 * No, this article is about the organism, whereas Leishmaniasis details the disease caused by the organism. GiollaUidir (talk) 12:05, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

sub-phylum
According to the book "Integrated Principles of Zoology" 14th ed. from Hickman, Kinetoplasta is a subphylum, not a class... comment added by Filipalpg (talk • contribs) 00:20, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
