Popis: A Leishmanial parasite isolated in 1977 from a specimen of the sandfly Lutzomyia tuberculata from Pará State, Amazonian Brazil, has been characterized following its comparison with other species of Leishmania from the same region, using isoenzyme profiles, monoclonal antibodies and characterization of the miniexon gene repeat, using the polymerase chain reaction technique (PCR). It is described here under the name of Leishmania (Viannia) utingensis n. sp.
