Dendrogram depicting internal transcribed spacer 1 genetic relationships of the 2 Leishmania haplotypes (bold) found in study of Leishmania spp. in naturally infected sand flies in refugee camps, Greece, compared with conspecific Leishmania haplotypes obtained from GenBank. CIs >60% are indicated next to the branches. Each taxon is identified by species name, GenBank accession number, World Health Organization code if available, country, and type of disease caused, if known. Scale bar indicat
