How to succeed in parasitic life without sex? Asking Leishmania.

Trends in parasitology - 1 Feb 2002

Victoir Kathleen, Dujardin Jean-Claude

Abstract excerpt

Eukaryotes use sexual recombination to achieve innovation and adaptation to a changing environment, a mechanism that is exceptional in Leishmania. It is postulated that asexual mechanisms contribute efficiently to parasite fitness and that sexual recombination would not be necessary for the production of a large repertoire of genotypes. The model discussed in this review used a major Leishmania glycoprotein,...
