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 noncod...
