Genomic analysis of natural intra-specific hybrids among Ethiopian isolates of <i>Leishmania donovani</i>

2019-01-09

Abstract excerpt

Parasites of the genus Leishmania (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) cause widespread and devastating human diseases, ranging from self-healing but disfiguring cutaneous lesions to destructive mucocutaneous presentations or usually fatal visceral disease. Visceral leishmaniasis due to Leishmania donovani is endemic in Ethiopia where it has also been responsible for major epidemics. The presence of hybrid genotyp...
