A review of the epidemiologic aspects of the New World leishmaniases, including their known geographic distribution, etiologic agents, zoonotic reservoirs, and insect vectors, based on biological and molecular characterization of Leishmania isolates is presented. Data summarized in this paper on parasite taxonomy and geographic distribution come from our studies of greater than 1,000 New World Leishmania isolates identified by species-specific monoclonal antibodies using an indirect radioimmune binding assay and from scientific literature.
本文基于利什曼原虫分离株的生物学和分子特征，对新大陆利什曼病的流行病学方面进行了综述，包括其已知的地理分布、病原体、动物宿主和昆虫媒介。本文总结的关于寄生虫分类学和地理分布的数据来自我们使用间接放射免疫结合试验通过种特异性单克隆抗体对1000多株新大陆利什曼原虫分离株的研究以及科学文献。
