The metabolism of Leishmania donovani in culture [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1954
Lei8hnmnia donovani, the organism causing visceral leishmaniasis, is a small, round or ovoid body measuring 2-5 g. in diameter, which occurs exclusively within cells of the reticulo-endothelial system of its mammalian host. In culture, or in the insect vector, the parasite exists in a flagellate leptomonad form. In the case of L. tropica in culture, it
