Comparative Genomic Analyses of New and Old World Viscerotropic Leishmanine Parasites: Further Insights into the Origins of Visceral Leishmaniasis Agents

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), also known as kala-azar, is an anthropozoonotic disease affecting human populations on five continents. Aetiologic agents belong to the <i>Leishmania (L.) donovani</i> complex. Until the 1990s, three leishmanine parasites comprised this complex: <i>L. (...
