متن کاملDe Novo Whole-Genome Sequence and Annotation of a Leishmania Strain Isolated from a Case of Post-Kala-Azar Dermal Leishmaniasis
The pathogenesis of post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) is complex. Only 5 to 10% of kala-azar patients develop this dermal complication, and it is not known whether this is due to changes in the parasite genome or some host factors. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence and annotated genes of the whole genome of the PKDL strain.
