Genomic confirmation of hybridisation and recent inbreeding in a vector-isolated Leishmania population.

Genomic confirmation of hybridisation and recent inbreeding in a vector-isolated Leishmania population.

Although asexual reproduction via clonal propagation has been proposed as the principal reproductive mechanism across parasitic protozoa of the Leishmania genus, sexual recombination has long been suspected, based on hybrid marker profiles detected in field isolates from different geographical locat...
