Abstract

Lacerta viridis produced relatively heat-stable, dithiothreitol-sensitive, non-precipitating antibodies with β2-electrophoretic mobility following exposure to Leishmania agamae promastigotes but no histopathological or clinical signs of infection were seen. Significant four-and two-fold increases in the mean lysozyme and protein levels respectively were found in immune sera. Immunoenzyme techniques proved the most sensitive for detection of parasite antigens in selected body organs and immunoglobulins in sera.
