<i>Leishmania naiffi</i> and <i>Leishmania guyanensis</i> reference genomes highlight genome structure and gene evolution in the <i>Viannia</i> subgenus
2017-12-14
Abstract excerpt
The unicellular protozoan parasite Leishmania causes the neglected tropical disease leishmaniasis, affecting 12 million people in 98 countries. In South America where the Viannia subgenus predominates, so far only L. (Viannia) braziliensis and L. (V . ) panamensis have been sequenced, assembled and annotated as reference genomes. Addressing this deficit in molecular information can inform species typing, epid...
