T1 - Leishmania donovani and Cutaneous Leishmaniasis, Sri Lanka T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2007 VL - 13 IS - 3 SP - 476 SN - 1080-6059 AB - To investigate the relationship of cutaneous leishmaniasis isolates from Sri Lanka to known species, we performed DNA sequencing and microsatellite analyses. We identified Leishmania donovani as the agent of Sri Lanka cutaneous leishmaniasis and showed that these parasites are closely related to those causing visceral leishmaniasis in the Indian subcontinent.
