RESUMO
Third-four Leishmania isolates obtained from Costa Rican patients, from different geographical areas, were characterized by isoenzyne electrophoresis and indirect immunofluorescense with monoclonal antibodies. Thirty-two were characterized as L. panamensis strains and two were L. braziliensis variants. We confirm the evident predominance of L. panamensis as the main etiological agent of leishmaniasis in Costa Rica and the existence of L. braziliensis in the country.
