  • Diagnosing Cutaneous leishmaniasis using Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization: the Sri Lankan Perspective 
    Kaluarachchi, T.D.J.; Weerasekera, M. M.; McBain, A. J.; Ranasinghe, S.; Wickremasinghe, R.; Yasawardene, S.; Jayanetti, N.; Wickremasinghe, R. (Taylor & Francis, 2019)
    Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) caused by Leishmania donovani MON-37 is becoming a major public health problem in Sri Lanka, with 100 new cases per month being reported in endemic regions. Diagnosis of CL is challenging for ...
  • Diagnosing human cutaneous leishmaniasis using fluorescence in situ hybridization 
    Kaluarachchi, T.J.; Wickremasinghe, R.; Weerasekera, M.; Yasawardene, S.; McBain, A.J.; Yapa, B.; de Silva, H.; Menike, C.; Jayathilake, S.; Munasinghe, A.; Wickremasinghe, R.; Ranasinghe, S. (Taylor & Francis Publishing, 2021)

  • Distinct microbiome profiles and biofilms in Leishmania donovani-driven cutaneous leishmaniasis wounds 
    Kaluarachchi, T.D.J.; Campbell, P.M.; Wickremasinghe, R.; Ranasinghe, S.; Wickremasinghe, R.; Yasawardene, S.; de Silva, H.; Menike, C.; Jayarathne, M.C.K.; Jayathilake, S.; Dilhari, A.; McBain, A.J .; Weerasekera, M.M. (Nature Publishing Group, 2021)
