Abstract excerpt
Leishmania aethiopica infections in man result in a spectrum of diseases from LCL to DCL. These clinical manifestations have been attributed to genetic differences within the host or the parasites. In this study two different PCR-based methods were used to elucidate genetic variation within the species L. aethiopica. Inter- and intra-specific variations were detected in the ITS of the ribosomal operon in...
