Genomic Characterization of Leishmania tropica in Cutaneous Leishmaniasis, Somali Region, Ethiopia, 2023 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We sequenced Leishmania tropica genomes from 8 human skin samples collected in a newly emerging focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Somali region of Ethiopia. We found a variant with unique genomic signatures of drug resistance.
