The present work shows that the amastigotes of L. m. amazonensis are morphologically distinguishable from those of L. b braziliensis. The authors consider that such differences add further support to the use of the name braziliensis and mexicana at the specific level.
目前的研究表明,亚马逊利什曼原虫的无鞭毛体在形态上与巴西利什曼原虫的无鞭毛体可区分开来。作者认为,这些差异进一步支持在种的水平上使用巴西利什曼原虫和墨西哥利什曼原虫这两个名称。
