A volunteer immune to panamanian cutaneous leishmaniasis
was found to be immune to L. mexicana infection.
A volunteer immune to L. mexicana infection was found
to be completely susceptible to panamanian cutaneous leishmaniasis.
It seems that L. mexicana and the causative agent of
panamanian cutaneous leishmaniasis are antigenically distinct. The
relationship between the panamanian organism and L. guyanensis is
still to be ascertained. |
