Combination of Cpb-Hsp70 typing methods reveals genetic divergence between Leishmania infantum strains causing human tegumentary leishmaniasis in northern Italy and central Spain: a retrospective study

Abstract Background Tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) caused by Leishmania infantum is an overlooked yet re-emerging disease endemic in Mediterranean Europe. Currently, no standardized molecular surveillance of circulating Leishmania strains is performed in European endemic areas, despite the potential...
