title: Leishmania colombiensis in Venezuela.
abstract: Flagellate parasites isolated in Venezuela from bone marrow aspirates of a human (MHOM/VE/70/Chuao) and a dog (MCAN/VE/72/Talisman2) were subsequently identified by isozyme analysis as Leishmania colombiensis. Data are presented describing genetic similarity among Panama, Colombia, and Venezuela populations of this species.
