To investigate the relationship of cutaneous leishmaniasis isolates from Sri Lanka to known species, we performed DNA sequencing and microsatellite analyses. We identified Leishmania donovani as the agent of Sri Lanka cutaneous leishmaniasis and showed that these parasites are closely related to those causing visceral leishmaniasis in the Indian subcontinent.
为了研究来自斯里兰卡的皮肤利什曼病分离株与已知物种的关系,我们进行了DNA测序和微卫星分析。我们确定杜氏利什曼原虫为斯里兰卡皮肤利什曼病的病原体,并表明这些寄生虫与在印度次大陆引起内脏利什曼病的寄生虫密切相关。
