[Growth of Leishmania infantum in continuous culture].
It has been studied the continuous growth of a Leishmania infantum canine strain from Marseille. The authors used a modified liquid medium with Panmed : foetal calf serum and calf serum. They used a bench to chemistat at 24 degrees C. With an optimum concentration inoculum they obtained a diphasic growth curve with a first exponential phase from the third to the fifth day, in which the average time of generation is 15 hours and 20 minutes, and a second growth phase from the ninth to the eleventh day. It is a--diauxie growth--(according to the J. Monod Theory). If some medium is added on the third day this first exponential growth phase continues up to the eleventh day.
