Abstract

Genetic diversity within 45 Indian Leishmania donovani isolates were analyzed using seven genetic markers. While kDNA revealed 15 genotypes, 8 genotypes were obtained by other markers. Contrary to earlier reports, our data suggests significant genetic polymorphism exists in L. donovani from Bihar. Our results confirm the presence of 2 zymodemes in India.
