| Abstract: | Females of the vector of Leishmania aethiopica, Phlebotomus pedifer, have previously been morphologically indistinguishable from the non-vector, P. elegonensis. The present studies have biochemically separated these two species. Differences were observed in the mobility of four enzymes, GPI, HK, ICD and PGM on thin-layer starch gel electrophoresis. Using the isoelectric focusing technique, the two species could be differentiated by one enzyme, GPI. |
