Taxonomy of Leishmania. Use of isoenzymes. Suggestions for a new classification

Abstract: The authors propose a new classification for the genus Leishmania Ross, 1903 based both on the use of intrinsic and extrinsic characters and on Linnean and Adansonian methods The type of vertebrate host makes it possible to recognize the genus group: Leishmania designates Kinetoplastida parasites of mammals Neighbouring forms which parasite reptiles are now grouped in the genus Sauroleishmania Ranque, 1973 Characteristics of the intravectorial cycle (supra- and peri-pyloric) are used to define the subgenus group (Leishmania, Viannia Lainson and Shaw, 1987) The classification uses biochemical, particularly enzymatic, characters Elementary taxonomic units are made up of all the strains having the same isoenzyme profile, ie the zymodeme The grouping of the zymodemes is usually performed through automatic techniques which lead to bush-like trees (dendrograms) showing either simple affinities between units (phenograms) or their phyletic relationships (cladograms) The branches recognized as being stable are individualized as "zymodeme complexes" They bear the name of either the previously defined species taxa or that of a specially created one Two examples of taxonomic constructions, phenetic and cladistic, are presented Finally, a general classification of the genus is proposed

[Study of the efficiency of a quantitative coproscopic technic for the routine diagnosis and control of parasitic infestations of cattle, sheep, horses and swine].

Abstract: Nous avons demontre chez les bovins, ovins, caprins, porcins et equins, que la technique de coproscopie que nous pratiquons est :polyvalente (elle detecte toutes les formes parasitaires eliminees : Cestodes, Trematodes, Nematodes, œufs ou larves), simple (un seul prelevement de 5 g de matieres fecales est manipule) rapide et relativement peu onereuse (car le liquide cher, l’Iodo Mercurate de K est partiellement recupere), precise (car l’utilisation de la lame de Mac Master le permet), enfin, sensible , car le seuil avec la lame de Mac Master est ameliore par l’examen simultane sur la meme suspension preparee d’une lame de flottaison.Il s’agit de coproscopie quantitative en lame de Mac Master, dont le coefficient de multiplication peut etre de X 15. Ce seuil est abaisse par l’examen complementaire d’une lame de flottaison qui apporte une information qualitative.Nous avons demontre que, sauf pour le cheval chez lequel la solution dense peut etre le SO 4 Mg , dans toutes les autres especes (bovins, ovins, caprins, porcins), il est recommande d’utiliser l’Iodo Mercurate de K .Cette technique est aussi bien conseillee pour les examens de routine precis que pour le controle quantitatif rigoureux.

The life-cycle of Leishmania in the sandfly with special reference to the form infective to the vertebrate host.

Abstract: A review is given of recent advances in studies on the life-cycles of leishmaniae in phlebotomine sandflies including observations on the morphology and attachment of the parasites, putative genetic exchange in Leishmania, newly found factors affecting the development of the parasite in the fly, and the characteristics of metacyclic promastigotes related to their preadaptation for life in the vertebrate host
