Evidence for Hybridization by Multilocus Enzyme Electrophoresis and Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA Between <i>Leishmania braziliensis</i> and <i>Leishmania panamensis/guyanensis</i> in Ecuador

Abstract excerpt

The taxonomic attribution of four Leishmania stocks isolated from humans in Ecuador has been explored by both multilocus enzyme electrophoresis and random amplified polymorphic DNA. For three loci, MLEE results showed patterns suggesting a heterozygous state for a diploid organism, while the corresponding homozygous states are characteristic of the Leishmania panamensis/guyanensis complex and Leishmania...
