Sri Lankan cutaneous leishmaniasis is caused by Leishmania donovani zymodeme MON-37
Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg.
2003 Jul-Aug.
Abstract
Sri Lankan cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), once considered sporadic, is fairly widespread in some parts of the country. Identification of 5 isolates from 4 CL patients by enzyme analysis during 2002 showed that they were all Leishmania donovani zymodeme MON-37, the parasite which also causes visceral leishmaniasis in India and East Africa.
