A Leishmanial parasite isolated in 1977 from a specimen of the sandfly Lutzomyia tuberculata from Pará State, Amazonian Brazil, has been characterized following its comparison with other species of Leishmania from the same region, using isoenzyme profiles, monoclonal antibodies and characterization of the miniexon gene repeat, using the polymerase chain reaction technique (PCR). It is described here under the name of Leishmania (Viannia) utingensis n. sp.
Résumé
Une Leishmanie isolée en 1977 d'un spécimen de Lutzomyia tuberculata de l'état de Pará , Amazonie brésilienne, est differenciée des autres espèces de Leishmania de la même région par les profils enzymatiques, les anti-corps monoclonaux et la caractérisation, par PCR, des mini-exons répétés dans les gènes. Elle est nommée Leishmania (Viannia) utingensis n. sp.
