donovani complex, we have analyzed the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS)
sequences of 27 Leishmania infantum, 2 Leishmania chagasi, 18 L. donovani and 5
Leishmania archibaldi strains of different zymodemes and geographical origin. Eight ITS
sequence types were found. All detected sequence variation within ITS1 and ITS2 was
based on 12 polymorphic microsatellites. The L. infantum strains from the Mediterranean …
