Comparison of the A2 Gene Locus in Leishmania donovani and Leishmania major and Its Control over Cutaneous Infection
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
In Old World Leishmania infections, Leishmania donovani is responsible for fatal visceral leishmaniasis, and L. major is responsible for non-fatal cutaneous leishmaniasis in humans. The genetic differences between these species which govern the pathology or site of infection are not known. We have therefore carried out detailed analysis of the A2 loci in L. major and L. donovani because A2 is expressed in L....
