Abstract
Sequential development of Leishmania promastigotes from a noninfective to an infective stage was demonstrated for promastigotes growing in culture and in the sandfly vector. The generation of an infective stage was found to be growth cycle-dependent and restricted to nondividing organisms.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
