Abstract:
Five Algerian stocks of Leishmania were compared with two stocks from USSR and one from Sudan by means of isoenzyme electrophoresis of two enzymes: glucose-phosphate isomerase (GPI) and phosphoglucomutase (PGM). Three stocks isolated from patients suffering from cutaneous leishmaniasis appeared to be L. tropica major. This correlated well the epidemiological features of the endemic area from where the stocks originated. Two stocks isolated from patients suffering from visceral leishmaniasis appeared to be different from the Sudanese stock of L. donovani.
