Leishmania turanica n.sp., found infecting the desert rodent Rhombomys opimus in the southern territories of the USSR and the Mongolian People's Republic, is described. This parasite exists sympatrically with L. major and L. gerbilli in R. opimus and is the predominant species. A total of 284 isolates of L. turanica from R. opimus, 3 from naturally infected Phlebotomus andrejevi and 1 from P. papatasi were characterized and found to be clearly distinguishable on isoenzyme and nuclear DNA characteristics from all other Old World taxa of Leishmania.
本文描述了在苏联南部地区和蒙古人民共和国发现感染荒漠啮齿动物大沙鼠（Rhombomys opimus）的图兰利什曼原虫（Leishmania turanica n.sp.）。这种寄生虫与硕大利什曼原虫（L. major）和沙鼠利什曼原虫（L. gerbilli）在大沙鼠体内同域存在，且为优势种。对从大沙鼠分离出的284株图兰利什曼原虫、3株来自自然感染的安德烈耶夫白蛉（Phlebotomus andrejevi）的菌株以及1株来自巴氏白蛉（P. papatasi）的菌株进行了特征分析，发现它们在同工酶和核DNA特征上与利什曼原虫属的所有其他旧世界分类群明显不同。
