Epidemic visceral leishmaniasis in southern Sudan: Identity and systematic position of the parasites from patients and vectors

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, Volume 86, No. 4, Year 1992

Twenty-five strains of Leishmania donovani isolated from humans and Phlebotomus orientalis in an epidemic area of southern Sudan were shown to belong to 3 very similar zymodemes: MON 18(11 strains), MON 30 (1 strain) and MON 82 (13 strains). The 3 zymodemes are very closely related and seem to behave as a single population. © 1992 Oxford university press.
