Until recently mammalian hosts of Leishmania (Viannia) naiffi Lainson & Shaw, 1989 have been limited to armadillos, Dasypus novemcinctus, in Amazonian Brazil. Past evidence for human cutaneous leishmaniasis due to this parasite is reviewed, and a recent infection in man reported, with identification of the parasite by isoenzyme profiles and a specific monoclonal antibody. The role of some phlebotomine sandfly species as vectors is discussed.
直到最近，1989年命名的纳氏利什曼原虫（维阿尼利什曼原虫亚属）的哺乳动物宿主还仅限于巴西亚马逊地区的九带犰狳。本文回顾了过去关于该寄生虫导致人类皮肤利什曼病的证据，并报告了一例近期的人类感染病例，通过同工酶谱和特异性单克隆抗体对寄生虫进行了鉴定。文中还讨论了一些白蛉物种作为传播媒介的作用。
