摘要

The present study explains a novel method of Leishmania promastigotes culture decontamination. The method is based on motility of Leishmania promastigotes across agar barrier which facilitates decontamination from yeast and other non motile contamination. This is inexpensive, easy, rapid and reliable physical method and is able to save valuable isolates in culture.
