[Cutaneous leishmaniasis: ultrastructural study (author's transl)].

While in general agreement with previous searchers, the authors direct their attention at peculiar or unknown structures such as: a huge phagosome sometimes loaded with a paracristalline rod; an occasional set of parallel microtubules along the reservoir; eventual duplication of the blepharoplast and even of the flagellum. There appear to be some 90 microtubules in the hyaloplasm of tleishmania tropica.
