Parasitology, 2001•cambridge.orgFifty-two Leishmania strains, obtained from human patients and dogs in a visceral
leishmaniasis focus in Sudan, were characterized by isoenzyme electrophoresis (15
enzymes). The phylogenetic analysis showed that the 7 Leishmania zymodemes obtained
hold ancestral positions on the phylogenetic tree, supporting the hypothesis of an East
African origin of visceral leishmaniasis.
