Leishmania infantum is the causative agent of infantile visceral leishmaniasis in the Mediterranean region of the Old World and in Latin America, where it has been called Leishmania chagasi.^[1]^[2] It is also an unusual cause of cutaneous leishmaniasis,^[3] which is normally caused by specific lineages (or zymodemes). Wild canids and domestic dogs are the natural reservoir of this organism. Leishmania infantum is closely related to Leishmania donovani, and some authors believe that these two species are so close as to actually be subspecies of each other,^[4] however phylogenetic analyses can distinguish between these two groups, although it also showed that some isolates of Leishmania donovani had been classified as Leishmania infantum and that Leishmania donovani includes a number of different genetic groups.^[5]

自然界で宿主となっている生物。寄生する生命体が害を与えずに共生できる宿主。

Natural reservoir or nidus, refers to the long-term host of the pathogen of an infectious disease.
It is often the case that hosts do not get the disease carried by the pathogen or it is carried as a subclinical infection and so asymptomatic and non-lethal.
Once discovered, natural reservoirs elucidate the complete life cycle of infectious diseases, providing effective prevention and control.
