High genome plasticity and frequent genetic exchange in <i>Leishmania tropica</i> isolates from Afghanistan, Iran and Syria

2021-08-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The kinetoplastid protozoan Leishmania tropica mainly causes cutaneous leishmaniasis in humans in the Middle East, and relapse or treatment failure after treatment are common in this area. L. tropica ’s digenic life cycle includes distinct stages in the vector sandfly and the mammalian host. Sexual reproduction and genetic exchange appear to occur more frequently than in other Leishmania sp...
