Description, Biology, and Medical Significance of Leishmania (Mundinia) Chancei n. sp. (Kinetoplastea: Trypanosomatidae) from Ghana and Leishmania (Mundinia) Procaviensis n. sp. (Kinetoplastea: Trypanosomatidae) from Namibia

Journal of Parasitology, 2023
Genetic and phylogenetic analysis was performed on 2 isolates of Leishmania using DNA sequence data from the RNA polymerase II large subunit gene and the ribosomal protein L23a intergenic sequence. This showed the isolates to represent 2 new species within the subgenus Leishmania (Mundinia). The addition of Leishmania (Mundinia) chancei and Leishmania (
