Zusammenfassung:	In experimental infection and transmission of Leishmania donovani which involve the feeding of sandflies on infected hamsters, the conventional way of detecting infection is by examination of smears, cultures, or both, of the splenic tissues of killed hamsters. The authors have demonstrated viable amastigotes of L. donovani by splenic aspiration in live hamsters.
