Genomic Characterization of a Locally Transmitted <i>Leishmania mexicana</i> Isolate from Texas

2025-08-04

Abstract excerpt

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is caused by Leishmania species transmitted by sand flies. Although considered a neglected tropical disease, growing evidence indicates that local transmission can occur in subtropical, higher-resource regions where sand fly vectors are present, including the southern United States. Here, we report the first whole-genome sequence of Leishmania mexicana from an autochthonous U.S. case...
