Genetic coping mechanisms observed in Leishmania tropica, from the Middle East region, enhance the survival of the parasite after drug exposure.
<h4>Introduction</h4>Cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by L. tropica is common in the Middle East and treatment failure and drug resistance are known to occur. Several genetic mechanisms: aneuploidy, recombination and loss of heterozygosity, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) changes, cop...
