title: Leishmania in the Old World: 5. Numerical analysis of isoenzyme data.
abstract: Numerical analysis of 59 zymodemes of Old World Leishmania, based on the enzyme profiles of 280 stocks, revealed several distinct clusters. Some of these clusters corresponded with traditional taxonomic groupings: L. major, L. tropica, L. aethiopica and L. donovani sensu lato, but hitherto unrecognized groups were also indicated. The analysis provided an overview of the interrelationships between the Leishmania zymodemes.
