| Leishmania pifanoi | A strain of Leishmania mexicana accorded species status by those who consider it responsible for the diffuse or disseminated form of cutaneous leishmaniasis. It is responsible for this condition in Venezuela, where it was described, but it is now recognised that several species and subspecies of Leishmania cause similar disseminated forms of leishmaniasis in widely separated regions (Leishmania mexicana amazonensis, Leishmania aethiopica); absence or suppression of the cell-mediated immune response in the host is also an important factor in induction of diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis. Synonym: Leishmania pifanoi. (05 Mar 2000) |

| leishmania | A genus of parasitic flagellated protozoans which causes diseases in animals including humans, most notably leishmaniasis. A type of trypanosome. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Leishmania aethiopica | An African species of Leishmania responsible for human cutaneous leishmaniasis in Ethiopia, with a reservoir of human infection in the rock hyraxes, Procavia capensis and Heterohyrax brucei, and in Kenya, with reservoirs in the tree hyrax, Dendrohyrax arboreus, and the giant rat, Cricetomys gambianus; vectors are the sandflies Phlebotomus longpipes and P. Pedifer. It causes a cutaneous leishmaniasis of three types: classical oriental sore, mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, and diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis; ulceration is late or absent and healing takes one to three years. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leishmania braziliensis | A parasitic haemoflagellate of the subgenus leishmania viannia that infects man and animals. It causes cutaneous (leishmaniasis, cutaneous), diffuse cutaneous (leishmaniasis, diffuse cutaneous), and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (leishmaniasis, mucocutaneous) depending on the subspecies of this organism. The sandfly, lutzomyia, is the vector. The leishmania braziliensis complex includes the subspecies braziliensis and peruviana. Uta, a form of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the new world, is caused by the subspecies peruviana. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis | The type subspecies of Leishmania braziliensis and the agent of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis. A natural reservoir of infection remains unknown, but the proven vector in Brazil is Lutzomyia (Psychodopygus) wellcomei; other sandflies may also transmit the infection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Leishmania braziliensis guyanensis | A subspecies within the Leishmania braziliensis complex from Brazil and Guyana, and the cause of the cutaneous leishmaniasis condition locally known as "pian bois"; the reservoir host in Brazil is the sloth Choloepus hoffmani and the vector is the sandfly Lutzomyia umbratilis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Leishmania braziliensis panamensis | A subspecies of Leishmania braziliensis found in Panama, Colombia, and neighboring regions; it causes ulcerating lesions of cutaneous leishmaniasis which do not heal spontaneously and often involve nearby lymphatic tissues, but nasopharyngeal involvement is rare. The sloth Choloepus hoffmani is the reservoir in Panama and Costa Rica; the sandfly Lutzomyia trapidoi has been proven to be a vector. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leishmania donovani | A parasitic haemoflagellate of the subgenus leishmania leishmania that infects man and animals and causes visceral leishmaniasis (leishmaniasis, visceral). The sandfly genera phlebotomus and lutzomyia are the vectors. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Leishmania donovani archibaldi | The type subspecies and agent of visceral leishmaniasis in Asia, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent; a few cases occur in the south central section of the area known as the former USSR, and in Iran, Iraq, and possibly Yemen; the dog and jackal are animal reservoirs. The form in Africa may be this subspecies, though the name Leishmania donovani archibaldi is also used. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Leishmania donovani chagasi | A subspecies of Leishmania found in South America, chiefly in Brazil, producing visceral leishmaniasis; infections have been found in domestic dogs and in foxes, though the primary reservoir host is unclear. The vector remains undiscovered, and the taxonomic status of this subspecies is uncertain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Leishmania donovani donovani | The type subspecies and agent of visceral leishmaniasis in Asia, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent; a few cases occur in the south central section of the area known as the former USSR, and in Iran, Iraq, and possibly Yemen; the dog and jackal are animal reservoirs. The form in Africa may be this subspecies, though the name Leishmania donovani archibaldi is also used. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Leishmania donovani infantum | A strain or subspecies of Leishmania donovani that causes visceral leishmaniasis in young children in Mediterranean countries; the reservoir is the domestic dog. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leishmania enriettii | A parasitic haemoflagellate of the subgenus leishmania leishmania that has been found as a natural infection of the brazilian guinea pig. Its host-tissue relationship is, in general, comparable to that of l. Braziliensis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Leishmania furunculosa | Former name for Leishmania tropica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leishmania guyanensis | A parasitic haemoflagellate of the subgenus leishmania viannia that infects man and animals and causes mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (leishmaniasis, mucocutaneous). Transmission is by lutzomyia sandflies. (12 Dec 1998) |
