RESUMENObjetivos. Determinar la capacidad infectiva de los promastigotes de Leishmania (V.) peruviana y Leishmania (V.) braziliensis en la línea celular macrófago-monocítica de Canis familiaris DH82. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio experimental durante los meses de enero a diciembre de 2013. Se utilizaron cepas referenciales de Leishmania (V.) braziliensis MHOM/PE/84/LC53 y Leishmania (V.) peruviana MHOM/PE/84/LC26. La línea celular fue infectada con promastigotes en fase estacionaria y la capacidad infectiva fue determinada como el producto del porcentaje de macrófagos infectados por el promedio de amastigotes por macrófago infectado, observado al microscopio de epifluorescencia. Resultados. El 13% de formas metacíclicas para Leishmania (V.) braziliensis correspondió al día 17,5 posinoculación y para Leishmania (V.) peruviana un porcentaje de 9,5% en el día 14,5. No se encontró diferencia significativa entre la capacidad infectiva de los promastigotes en fase estacionaria de ambas especies. Conclusiones. Se recomienda evaluar la capacidad infectiva de los promastigotes metacíclicos de cepas de Leishmania (V.) peruviana y Leishmania (V.) braziliensis en líneas celulares, a fin de determinar el modelo de infección in vitro más adecuado, que permita efectuar estudios de susceptibilidad a las drogas leishmanicidas de mayor eficacia para el control de la enfermedad.

INFECTIVITY OF PROMASTIGOTES IN STATIONARY PHASE OF Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis AND Leishmania (Viannia) peruviana, IN CELL LINE DH82 ABSTRACTObjectives. To determine the infectivity of promastigotes of Leishmania (V.) peruviana and Leishmania (V.) braziliensis in monocyte-macrophage cell line DH82 of Canis familiaris. Materials and methods. Was conducted a experimental study during the months of january to december 2013. Were used strains of Leishmania were used (V.) braziliensis MHOM / PE / 84 / LC53 and Leishmania (V.) peruviana MHOM / PE / 84 / LC26. The cell line was infected with stationary phase promastigotes and infectivity was determined as the product of percent infected macrophages average amastigotes per macrophage observed in epifluorescence microscope. Results. 13% of metacyclic forms to Leishmania (V.) braziliensis corresponded to 17.5 days post inoculation and Leishmania (V.) peruviana a percentage of 9.5% on the day 14.5. No significant difference was found between infectivity of stationary phase promastigotes of both species. Conclusions. It is recommended assess the infectivity of metacyclic promastigotes peruviana strains of Leishmania (V.) and Leishmania (V.) braziliensis cell lines in order to determine the most appropriate model in vitro infection, allowing leishmanicidas make the drug more effective susceptibility studies for disease control.
