Unknown isolate

[Myriam Riyad]

Jake,
I do not have any information about this isolate, but in our lab (and I know
that other labs in Europe recently encountered the same problem) we faced
some strange typing results (isoenzyme patterns different from our reference
strains of L. infantum, L. tropica and L. major) while these strains were
supposed to be human strains. Could they be Sauroleishmania? I am highly
interested if you have some complementary information on the matter.
