the isolation and isoenzyme characterization of leishmania braziliensis subsp. from patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis acquired in belize.leishmanial organisms were cultivated from cutaneous lesions of british military personnel returning from belize. isoenzyme profiles of the freshly isolated organisms and 'marker' strains of new world leishmania spp. were compared using 10 enzymes (alat, asat, me, gpi, mpi, pgm, sod, 6-pgdh, g-6-pdh and mdh), by starch gel electrophoresis. 19 of the 22 new isolates from belize were isoenzymically indistinguishable from leishmania braziliensis braziliensis (10 out of 10 enzymes) and clearly diffe ...19846710574
