Trans-Atlantic Spill Over: Deconstructing the Ecological Adaptation of Leishmania Infantum in the Americas

2019-11-27

Abstract excerpt

Pathogen fitness landscapes change when transmission cycles establish in non-native environments or spill over into new vectors and hosts. The introduction of Leishmania infantum in the Americas into the Neotropics during European colonization represents a unique case study to investigate mechanisms of ecological adaptation of this important parasite. Defining the evolutionary trajectories that drive L. infantum f...
