Human settlement drives population divergence of <i>Leishmania guyanensis</i> at the sylvatic-anthropogenic interface

2026-03-07

Abstract excerpt

The Amazon is the largest tropical rainforest in the world, and is an important interface between natural rainforest and anthropogenic environments. In the central Amazon region, Leishmania guyanensis is a common agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), a disfiguring vector-borne disease that circulates between wild mammalian reservoirs and sandfly vectors in sylvatic cycles. People become infected when they intera...
