Asexual maintenance of genetic diversity in the protozoan pathogen Leishmania donovani
Leishmania donovanicauses visceral leishmaniasis, a fatal disease whenleft untreated. The process through which the parasite adapts toenvironmental change remains largely unknown. We sequenced and analysed L.Donovani amastigotes and promastigotes to study the adaptation capabilities and process related to karyotipic fluctuations and its consequences in short and long term for the genome.
