Abstract
THREE examples of the transmission of cutaneous Leishmaniasis to man from naturally infected sand-flies, P. papatasii ♀♀ , have been recorded by us (Ann. Trop. Med. and Parasitol., vol. 20, No. 2). It was also shown that the causative organism in each of the three lesions was biologically and morphologically identical with Leishmania tropica. There could therefore remain no doubt as to P. papatasii being a transmitter of Leishmania tropica.
