The taxonomic position of the Leishmania-hke parasites occurring as amastigotes or promastigotes
in the gut or blood of reptiles is reviewed and i t is concluded that they should be grouped in the genus
Sauroleishmania Ranque, 1973, with Sauroleishmania tarentolae (Wenyon, 1920) as the type species. The
principal differences between Leishmania Ross, 1903 and Sauroleishmania Ranque, 1973 include the vertebrate
and invertebrate hosts, the host cells inhabited by the amastigote, the sites of development in the
sandfly, the k D N A and the distance between the subpelUcular microtubules of the promastigotes |
