Table S1 - Multilocus Microsatellite Typing (MLMT) of Strains from Turkey and Cyprus Reveals a Novel Monophyletic L. donovani Sensu Lato Group

Multilocus microsatellite profiles of strains presenting high heterozygosity. CUK strains present different levels of allelic variation to a maximum of eight allele differences (strains CUK2 and CUK10). Strain EP59 presents extensive heterozygosity (9 out of 14 loci), sharing one typical MON-1 allele and a second one corresponding to the allele sizes of CUK strains. MON-37 CD44 clones are also highly heterozygous (6 out of 14 loci) sharing common alleles with those of Cypriot MON-37 strains (CH35 strain is shown here for comparison). Identical MLMT profiles are obtained for all EP59 clones (EP59cl.1- EP59cl.4) as well as all MON-37 CD44 clones (CD44cl.1- CD44cl.3); only EP59cl.1 and CD44cl.1 are shown here. (DOC)
