Duas cepas de Leishmania originalmente isoladas in vitro de casos humanos de leishmaniose cutânea e que ab initio não infectaram animais de laboratório, tornaram-se infectantes para hamnsters após serem mantidos por vários anos em meio de cultura quimicamente definido. Foram realizadas observações sobre o crescimento de promastigotas in vitro, curso da infecção em hamsters, morfologia das amastigotas, mobilidade eletroforética de oito enzimas solúveis. Foram obtidas informações sobre a densidade de flutuação do n-DNA e do k-DNA e uma das cepas foi testada contra anticorpos monoclonais. Ambas as cepas permanecem sem identificação precisa.

Attempts have been made to characterize two strains of Leishmania that became infective to golden hamsters only after they had been maintained for several years in a chemically defined culture medium. Observations were made on the growth rates of promastigotes in vitro, course of infection in hamsters, morphology of amastigotes, and electrophoretic mobility patterns of eight isoenzymes. Information was obtained about the buoyant densities of n-DNA and k-DNA, and one strain was tested against monoclonal antibodies. The identity of both strains remains obscure.
