Genetic diversity, phylogeny, and population structure of Leishmania isolates from cutaneous leishmaniasis patients in Ethiopia

2026-08-31

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Ethiopia has historically been attributed almost exclusively to <italic>Leishmania aethiopica</italic> . However, recent molecular evidence indicated greater species complexity. This study assessed genetic diversity, geographic association and evolutionary patterns of CL isolates using ITS1 sequencing of 96 Slit skin smear samples from parasitological...
