For the first time, the pathogenic agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the North of Algeria has been identified as Leishmania infantum s.1. The parasite was found to be a newly discovered enzymatic variant (zymodeme 24) differing by two electromorphs from a variant isolated in France (zymodeme 11) from the same type of lesion. Until now, the dermotropic zymodemes of Algeria and France have not been seen in cases of visceral leishmaniasis of the Mediterranean Basin.
首次确定阿尔及利亚北部皮肤利什曼病的病原体为婴儿利什曼原虫复合种（Leishmania infantum s.l.）。发现该寄生虫是一种新发现的酶变体（酶型24），与从法国分离出的同一类型病变的变体（酶型11）有两个电泳形态不同。到目前为止，在地中海盆地内脏利什曼病病例中尚未发现阿尔及利亚和法国的亲皮酶型。
