Leishmaniasis in Brazil. XXII: Characterization of Leishmania from man, dogs and the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva, 1912) isolated during an outbreak of visceral leishmaniasis in Santarém, Pará State

Abstract
During epidemiological studies on an outbreak of visceral leishmaniasis in Santarém, Pará State, north Brazil, isolates of Leishmania from two children, three dogs and six naturally infected specimens of the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis were compared, biochemically, by starch-gel enzyme electrophoresis. They have proved to be indistinguishable from each other, and from a reference strain of Leishmania chagasi Cunha & Chagas, 1937 from a case of human visceral leishmaniasis from Bahia State, north-east Brazil, on their enzyme profiles for ASAT, ALAT, PGM, GPI, MDH and MPI. Lu. longipalpis is the principal, and possibly the only vector to man in the Amazon Region of Brazil.
