6 patients with characteristic clinical symptoms of anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) have been revealed in 1987-1988 in the city of Ashkhabad (the Turkmen SSR). 3 Leishmania strains isolated from these patients (MHOM/SU/87/392, MHOM/SU/87/393, MHOM/SU/87/410) were identified as ACL causative agents--Leishmania tropica--by means of isoenzymatic analysis. The analysis for 12 enzymes (G-6-PDH, PGM, 6-PGDH, ACP, ALP, PGI, GOT, ME, LDH, ALD, HK, FK) was performed by electrophoresis on acetate-cellulose plates. The entomological studies carried out in Ashkhabad in September 1987 and May 1988 demonstrated the presence of a specific ACL vector--Phlebotomus sergenti. The abundance index of this species was 0.64-0.70. The above-mentioned data indicate reactivization of previously sanitized ACL focus in Ashkhabad (Turkmen SSR).

D007895 Leishmania tropica A parasitic hemoflagellate of the subgenus Leishmania leishmania that infects humans and rodents. This taxonomic complex includes species which cause a disease called Oriental sore which is a form of cutaneous leishmaniasis (LEISHMANIASIS, CUTANEOUS) of the Old World.

D007896 Leishmaniasis A disease caused by any of a number of species of protozoa in the genus LEISHMANIA. There are four major clinical types of this infection: cutaneous (Old and New World) (LEISHMANIASIS, CUTANEOUS), diffuse cutaneous (LEISHMANIASIS, DIFFUSE CUTANEOUS), mucocutaneous (LEISHMANIASIS, MUCOCUTANEOUS), and visceral (LEISHMANIASIS, VISCERAL).

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D004197 Disease Reservoirs Animate or inanimate sources which normally harbor disease-causing organisms and thus serve as potential sources of disease outbreaks. Reservoirs are distinguished from vectors (DISEASE VECTORS) and carriers, which are agents of disease transmission rather than continuing sources of potential disease outbreaks. Humans may serve both as disease reservoirs and carriers.
