Comparative expression profiling of Leishmania: modulation in gene expression between species and in different host genetic backgrounds.

Genome sequencing of Leishmania species that give rise to a range of disease phenotypes in the host has revealed highly conserved gene content and synteny across the genus. Only a small number of genes are differentially distributed between the three species sequenced to date, L. major, L. infantum...
