Visualisation of Leishmania donovani fluorescent hybrids during early stage development in the sand fly vector.
The Leishmania protozoan parasites cause devastating human diseases. Leishmania have been considered to replicate clonally, without genetic exchange. However, an accumulation of evidence indicates that there are inter-specific and intra-specific hybrids among natural populations. The first and so fa...
