Single nucleotide polymorphisms of the genes IL-2, IL-2RB, and JAK3 in patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania (V.) guyanensis in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms of the genes IL-2, IL-2RB, and JAK3 in patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania (V.) guyanensis in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil.
