Changes in expression of lectin-binding sites, which are complex carbohydrate structures of Leishmania gymnoductyli reptulii, were studied by the classical lectin agglutination test. The results evidence that this test may be used to assess the level of ontogenesis of Leishmania strains, as well as for the detection and isolation of metacyclic (invasion) stage from Leishmania cell culture by lectins.
