Evaluation shows alternative culture media improve Leishmania tropica proliferation, suggesting cost-effective options for in vitro studies.
The presence of Columbia agar in BY7, BY8, KBY7, and KBY8 media significantly enhanced L. tropica promastigote proliferation. Due to its low cost, ease of preparation, and availability in routine laboratories, Columbia agar is proposed as a practical and effective alternative to the conventional Novy-McNeal-Nicolle medium for promastigote culture.
