Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by trypanosomatid protozoa of the genus Leishmania. In the Americas, the species Leishmania amazonensis is predominantly associated with American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) while L. infantum is an agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). The genome sequences of Leis...
