Population structure and evidence for both clonality and recombination among Brazilian strains of the subgenus Leishmania (Viannia).

Population structure and evidence for both clonality and recombination among Brazilian strains of the subgenus Leishmania (Viannia).

Parasites of the subgenus Leishmania (Viannia) cause varying clinical symptoms ranging from cutaneous leishmaniases (CL) with single or few lesions, disseminated CL (DL) with multiple lesions to disfiguring forms of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (MCL).
