Isoenzymatic Analysis of 712 Strains of <i>Leishmania infantum</i> in the South of France and Relationship of Enzymatic Polymorphism to Clinical and Epidemiological Features

Abstract excerpt

In the south of France, leishmaniasis due to Leishmania infantum occurs in the following five foci of endemicity (from west to east): Pyrénées-Orientales, Cévennes, Provence, Côte d'Azur, and Corsica. Between 1981 and 2002, 712 Leishmania strains obtained from humans, dogs, cats, and sand flies were studied by isoenzyme analysis. In total, seven zymodemes were identified: MON-1, MON-11, MON-24, MON-29, MON-33,...
