摘要

The name Leishmania chagasi (a member of the Leishmania donovani complex) is frequently used for the aetiological agent of visceral leishmaniasis in the Americas. The other two species of this complex (L infantum and L donovani) are present only in the Old World. Enzymatic and genetic methods [eg. restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)] have indicated that stocks labelled L. infantum and L chagasi are very closely related and some authors have proposed or use synonymy. Others do not agree and have, in part, used minor phenotypic and genotypic differences, eg. monoclonal antibodies to surface proteins, glycoconjugate ligands, radiorespirometry, DNA fingerprinting and kDNAF probes (often only between individual reference markers), as criteria to justify separation into two species; in this case, L chagasi would have been present in the Americas before the arrival of the European colonists, and even before the separation of the American continent from Africa Our recent findings, using several different methods, such as random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD), DNA sequence analysis of the major surface protease (gp63) and hybridization with the DNA probe Lmet9, upon isolates from different geographical and host origins, showed very restricted diversity within strains of L. chagasi. The L. chagasi strains could not be distinguished from L infantum, indicating a recent geographical separation. Those findings are illustrated and confirmed here by combined analysis of RAPD data with restriction PCR-RFLP data from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of the ribosomal genes and from the mini-oxen genes (Fig. I). The degree of diversity among the L chagasi and L. infantum strains is lower than that found within L. donovani strains-even L. donovani strains from the same geographical area.
