Abstract excerpt
In the New World, Leishmania of the Viannia subgenus cause both cutaneous and mucocutaneous disease. These parasites show considerable intra-species genetic diversity and variation, which complicates taxonomic classification and epidemiology. We have used the variability of the transcribed noncoding regions between the small and large subunit rRNA genes to examine relationships in this group. In a method termed...
