Abstract excerpt
Leishmania tropica causes cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) from North Africa and Ethiopia to India, and is reported to be transmitted from human to human through sand fly bites. While this species is characterized by a high genomic diversity in all the area of endemicity, there is very little information on diversity at a microepidemiological scale. Here, we concentrated on an epidemic Moroccan focus of CL and...
