New Leishmania (Viannia) strains from brazilian Amazon sequencing and assembly
Parasites belonging to the Leishmania (Viannia) subgenus are the primary etiological agents of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in South America. The aim of this study was to sequence the genomes of five strains belonging to the species L. (V.) naffi, L. (V.) shawi, L. (V.) lindenbergi and L. (V.) utingensis using the Illumina platform, followed by a genome assembly and gene annotation.
