    Abstract:
    Two promastigote-infected specimens of Phlebotomus perniciosus Newstead, 1911, were found in the province of Cagliari, Italy. The parasites from one specimen were successfully cultured in a hamster. The isolate was typed on 11 enzymes and shown to be identical with the reference strain of Leishmania infantum s.st. This is the first typing of a leishmanial organism from naturally infected P. perniciosus.
