Cell cloning techniques and schizodeme analysis were used to detect mixtures of subpopulations in Leishmania parasites, isolated from humans and a reservoir host. Clones were obtained by plating promastigotes, at limited dilution, on solid medium. The resultant colonies were analysed by the restr...
