RESUMO

Leishmania donovani is an important intracellular protozoal pathogen of humans, which resides solely within mononuclear phagocytes. Phase-contrast microscopy and cinemicroscopy were used to examine the interaction of L. donovani promastigotes with human phagocytes to characterize and quantitate the sequence of events that results in leishmanial infection.
