| Description |
The leishmanias comprise a group of unicellular hemoflagellate protozoan parasites of vertebrates, which are transmitted from host to host by the bite sand fly vectors. They are closely related to trypanosomes and are grouped under Kinetoplastida, which also includes Crithidia, Leptomonas and other species. Leishmania has a digenetic life cycle consisting of an extracellular flagellated motile form called Promastigotes, in
the digestive tract of the insect vector and an intracellular, sessile form, or Amastigote, in the mononuclear phagocytes of vertebrate host. A wide variety
of Leishmania species, infect reptiles and mammals, causing a spectrum of diseases in humans collectively known as leishmaniasis (1). According to a WHO/TDR report
(2001), there are some twelve species of Leishmania which cause leishmaniasis.
