Abstract
The characterization and identification to species and subspecies of 20 stocks of Leishmania isolated from the region of Três Braços, Bahia, Brazil, are described: 17 stocks were from patients and three from dogs. The following techniques were used (i) biological (growth in culture, hamster tissues and phlebotomine gut), (ii) biochemical (isoenzyme and kinetoplast DNA analysis) and (iii) immunological (using monoclonal antibodies). All except two stocks belong to the L. braziliensis complex. One of these two corresponded to L. mexicana amazonensis but the other, while clearly in the mexicana complex, showed slight differences from the L. mexicana amazonensis reference strain on isoenzyme analysis. Two stocks from different lesions in the same patient and with different growth characteristics in hamster tissues were both identified as L. braziliensis braziliensis. All the fully characterized stocks of the L. braziliensis complex were identified as L. braziliensis braziliensis. L. braziliensis guyanensis was not identified. Dog and human stocks of L. braziliensis braziliensis were indistinguishable. From these findings and other evidence, L. braziliensis braziliensis seems to be the predominant species transmitted in Três Braços.

Abstract
Biopsies of skin and mucosal lesions were made on 60 well documented Brazilian patients with untreated cutaneous or mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, whose response to treatment was subsequently evaluated in 38 cases. The biopsies were examined with a view to classification after correlation with clinical and immunological findings. Although there was no simple or unified spectrum, five histological groups were defined and found to have some clinico-prognostic significance. In two groups the cases were all cutaneous with a relatively good prognosis. In another two groups they were evolving as mucocutaneous with a poor prognosis. The fifth group showed mixed characteristics with a tendency to relapse. There was no strong correlation with serum antibodies or Montenegro skin test, which were usually positive, or with parasite load, which was always low. The tissue response was distinguished from that in oriental sore by the degree of connective tissue involvement in all groups. It was the primary response in two groups, and subsidiary to a mono-nuclear response in the others. It suggested damage due to extra-cellular parasites or immune complexes. It did not correlate with the distinction between cutaneous and mucocutaneous disease. The single, most favourable, prognostic feature in either the cellular or connective tissue component was necrosis with a reactive response.

Abstract
First instar Dipetalogaster maximus proved as effective as third instar Triatoma infestans in detecting circulating Trypanosoma cruzi in patients with chronic infections examined in a routine xenodiagnostic laboratory. Since rearing costs are diminished, D. maximus has now replaced T. infestans as the xenodiagnostic agent in our laboratory. However, further work is needed to define the optimal conditions necessary when using this species in xenodiagnosis.
