Abstract Leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease caused by the protozoan Leishmania is endemic in many parts of tropics an subtropics. In vitro cultivation of the parasite plays an important role in the study and treatment of the disease. In the present study a new, simple and cheap yet reliable egg based bi-phasic culture medium is described which is capable of supporting long term cultivation of Leishmania promastigote in vitro without inclusion of foetal bovine serum or blood.
