Isolation of Leishmania Braziliensis from a Wild Rodent in Costa Rica *
Abstract
Abstract
Leishmania braziliensis panamensis has been isolated in culture from one spiny-pocket mouse (Heteromys dermarestianus) out of 43 examined, proving that rodents of this genus can be reservoirs of Leishmania of the braziliensis complex as well as of mexicana in Latin America.
