Phylogenetic analysis ofLeishmaniaRNA virus andLeishmaniasuggests ancient virus-parasite association
1 Jan 1995
Abstract excerpt
Some strains of the protozoan parasite Leishmania belonging to the new world species guyanensis and braziliensis are infected with persistent, single-segmented, non-enveloped dsRNA viruses termed LRV1. A single old world strain classified as L. major was recently found to harbor a similar virus, designated LRV2-1. The genomic nucleotide sequences of two LRV1 types (1-1 and 1-4) isolated from two L. guyanensis...
