A close ecological relationship with seals makes bloodsucking prickly lice aneffective vector of invasive and infectious disease pathogens, in particular,Acanthocheilonema spirocauda (Nematoda: Onchoc
The five largest clusters identified in Leishmania spp. also were identified in L. amazonensis: amastin-like proteins (Cluster 1), dyneins (Cluster 2) glycoprotein GP63 (Cluster 3), ATP-binding casset
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is increasingly used for molecular diagnosis and epidemiology of infectious diseases. Current Leishmania genomic studies rely on DNA extracted from cultured parasites, wh
