Spatio-temporal Genetic Structuring of Leishmania major in Tunisia by Microsatellite Analysis.
In Tunisia, cases of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania major are increasing and spreading from the south-west to new areas in the center. To improve the current knowledge on L. major evolution and population dynamics, we performed multi-locus microsatellite typing of human isolat...
