Complete Genome Sequence of a Virulent Leptospira interrogans Serovar Copenhageni Strain, Assembled with a Combination of Nanopore and Illumina Reads
Llanes, Alejandro; Prakoso, Dhani; Restrepo, Carlos Mario; Rajeev, Sreekumari (2020-04-23)Here, we present the complete genome sequence of a highly virulent Leptospira interrogans serovar Copenhageni strain isolated from a dog with severe leptospirosis. In this work, a gapless genome draft was assembled with a ... -
Detection and Characterization of Leptospira Infection and Exposure in Rats on the Caribbean Island of Saint Kitts
Rajeev, Sreekumari; Shiokawa, Kanae; Llanes, Alejandro; Rajeev, Malavika; Restrepo, Carlos Mario; Chin, Raymond; Cedeño, Eymi; Ellis, Esteban (2020-02-22)In this study, we detected and characterized Leptospira infection and exposure in rats on the Caribbean island of Saint Kitts for the first time. We detected Leptospira infection in 17/29 (59%), 14/29 (48) %, and 11/29 (38) ... -
The genome of Leishmania panamensis: insights into genomics of the L. (Viannia) subgenus.
Llanes, Alejandro; Restrepo, Carlos Mario; Del Vecchio, Gina; Anguizola, Franklin Jose´; Lleonart, Ricardo (2015-02-24)Kinetoplastid parasites of the Leishmania genus cause several forms of leishmaniasis. Leishmania species pathogenic to human are separated into two subgenera, Leishmania (Leishmania) and L. (Viannia). Species from the ... -
Genomic Variability among Field Isolates and Laboratory-Adapted Strains of Leptospira borgpetersenii Serovar Hardjo
Llanes, Alejandro; Restrepo, Carlos Mario; Ferreiro, Pablo Riesgo; Rajeev, Sreekumari (2018-05-22)Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar Hardjo colonizes cattle kidneys and may occasionally infect humans and other mammals. Strains belonging to two clonal subtypes (types A and B) with marked differences in their pathogenicity ... -
VianniaTopes: a database of predicted immunogenic peptides for Leishmania (Viannia) species
Llanes, Alejandro; Restrepo, Carlos Mario; Lleonart, Ricardo (2018-09-21)Leishmania is a protozoan parasite causing several disease presentations collectively known as leishmaniasis. Pathogenic species of Leishmania are divided into two subgenera, L. (Leishmania) and L. (Viannia). Species ... -
Whole Genome Sequencing Allows Better Understanding of the Evolutionary Historyof Leptospira interrogans Serovar Hardjo
Llanes, Alejandro; Restrepo, Carlos Mario; Rajeev, Sreekumari (2016-07-21)The genome of a laboratory-adapted strain of Leptospira interrogans serovar Hardjo was sequenced and analyzed. Comparison of the sequenced genome with that recently published for a field isolate of the same serovar revealed ...
