Abstract excerpt
Intraspecific heterogeneity was demonstrated in the mini-exon gene localization from Leishmania (Viannia) panamensis and L. (Viannia) guyanensis. Different karyotypes were detected in human isolates circulating in endemic areas of Colombia. The presence of mini-exon gene sequences on chromosomes of different sizes, ranging from 370 to 800 kb in L. (V.) panamensis and from 500 to 800 kb in L. (V.) guyanensis, was...
