“…This result was already reported in others Mediterranean countries as Spain (Martin-Sanchez et al, 2004). However, other zymodeme of L. infantum complex were also isolated from dogs such as MON-77 in the Catalan focus in Spain (Gallego et al, 2001) and MON-108 in Provence France (Pratlong et al, 2004).…”

“…The combined pattern of all these proteins constitutes a so-called zymodeme, which serves as the basis for species assignment as well as for classification below the species level (30,55,58,(86)(87)(88). Nevertheless, different labs make use of other enzymes, leading to several identification systems, such as the MON (Montpellier, France) (26), LON (London, United Kingdom) (89), and IOC (Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) (90) classifications.…”

Species Typing in Dermal Leishmaniasis

SUMMARY Leishmania is an infectious protozoan parasite related to African and American trypanosomes. All Leishmania species that are pathogenic to humans can cause dermal disease. When one is confronted with cutaneous leishmaniasis, identification of the causative species is relevant in both clinical and epidemiological studies, case management, and control. This review gives an overview of the currently existing and most used assays for species discrimination, with a critical appraisal of the limitations of each technique. The consensus taxonomy for the genus is outlined, including debatable species designations. Finally, a numerical literature analysis is presented that describes which methods are most used in various countries and regions in the world, and for which purposes.

“…This has already been reported by different studies in various Mediterranean countries: France (Pratlong et al 2004;Marty et al 2007), Portugal (Campino et al 2006), Spain (Jimenez et al 1995;Martin-Sanchez et al 2004), Algeria (Harrat et al 1996), Tunisia (Belhadj et al 2002, Kallel et al 2008 and Italy (Gramiccia et al 1992;Gramiccia, 2003). Out of these 37 zymodemes, 25 were not isolated from dogs, and were considered as small variants of zymodeme MON-1, scarce in humans and the reservoir of which remains unknown.…”

A series of 2277 Leishmania strains from Old World visceral leishmaniasis foci, isolated between 1973 and 2008, were studied by isoenzyme analysis. The strains were obtained from humans, domestic and wild carnivores, rodents and phlebotomine sandflies, and came from 36 countries. In all, 60 different zymodemes were identified and clustered by a phenetic analysis into 3 different groups corresponding to the typically visceralizing species L. donovani (20 zymodemes, 169 strains), L. archibaldi (3 zymodemes, 46 strains) and L. infantum (37 zymodemes, 2,062 strains). The taxonomic position of these isoenzymatic groups is discussed in view of contradictory results obtained from recent molecular studies.
