Abstract excerpt
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is mainly caused by L. major and L. tropica in Old World and might be represented as typical skin lesion(s) or sometimes as a spectrum of atypical manifestations. We applied multilocus sequence typing (MLST) to explore genetic variations of Leishmania strains isolated from atypical vs. typical CL patients from Iran. A PCR-sequencing was performed for seven housekeeping genes (g6pd,...
