Abstract
Leishmania donovani organisms isolated from 10 children coming from different districts in Iraq, were compared between themselves, with Leishmania donovani isolated in Iran and the Sudan, and with a Leishmania sp. isolated from the viscera of a rat caught in Baghdad. The comparison was made by examination of the electrophoretic mobilities of seven soluble enzymes: malic enzyme E.C.1.1.1.40; glucose phosphate isomerase E.C.5.3.1.9; glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase E.C.1.1.1.49; phospho-glucomutase E.C.2.7.5.1.; malate dehydrogenase E.C.1.1.1.37; aspartate aminotransferase E.C.2.6.1.1 and alanine aminotransferase E.C.2.6.1.2 following thin-layer starch-gel electrophoresis.Keywords
