Nuclear and kinetoplast DNA analyses reveal genetically complex Leishmania strains with hybrid and mito-nuclear discordance in Peru.

Nuclear and kinetoplast DNA analyses reveal genetically complex Leishmania strains with hybrid and mito-nuclear discordance in Peru.

Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis of the mannose phosphate isomerase (mpi) gene was applied to 134 skin samples collected from patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Peru for identification of the infecting parasite at the species level, an...
