Abstract excerpt
Genetic diversity within and between tandemly arrayed copies of the Gp63 gene occurs in laboratory isolates of Leishmania spp., but the extent to which this represents natural genetic diversity has not been assessed. Here, the Gp63 locus is examined in 58 fresh isolates of L. peruviana, and clones derived from them, collected throughout the Peruvian Andes. Extensive polymorphism is observed, both in size of Gp63...
