Abstract
Isolation and propagation of Leishmania parasites using
conventional culture methods are difficult, especially
under field conditions. Transportation of live parasites
requires the maintenance of low temperatures, which
increases the cost considerably. The present study
demonstrates that monophasic micro capillary culture
is a simpler, more economical and better alternative to
using conventional Evan’s modified Tobie’s medium to
isolate and transport the Leishmania parasite over long
distances without the use of temperature control
methods
