Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Leishmaniasis is endemic in many countries, and in Kenya outbreaks of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) commonly occur in Garissa, Isiolo, Marsabit, Turkana, and Wajir. Despite the rising frequency of VL outbreaks, there is limited data on the genetic structure and epidemiology of Leishmania parasites from these regions. This study used molecular methods to characterize Leishmania parasites collected at...
