Abstract
New Leishmania isolates form a novel group of human parasites related to Leishmania enrietti, with cases in Ghana, Thailand, and Martinique; other relatives infect Australian and South American wildlife. These parasites apparently cause both cutaneous and visceral disease, and may have evolved a novel transmission mechanism exploiting blood-feeding midges.
摘要
新的利什曼原虫分离株形成了一个与利什曼原虫 enrietti 相关的人类寄生虫新群体，在加纳、泰国和马提尼克岛都有病例；其他的亲缘种感染了澳大利亚和南美的野生动物。这些寄生虫显然会引起皮肤和内脏疾病，并且可能已经进化出一种利用吸血蠓的新型传播机制。
