Abstract excerpt
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) has been reported from 20 of 31 provinces of Iran. It is a polymorphic disease, which may show various clinical manifestations. Although genetic diversity of the parasite is suggested to be one of the factors influencing the clinical manifestations in CL, there is still no data regarding the genetic variation of Leishmania major based on the sequencing of kDNA .The amplification of...
