Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by L. tropica is common in the Middle East and treatment failure and drug resistance are known to occur. Several genetic mechanisms: aneuploidy, recombination and loss of heterozygosity, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) changes, copy number variation (CNV), and mutation of the H locus associated with drug resistance have been described. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We...
