Source tracing of Leishmania donovani in emerging foci of visceral leishmaniasis in West Nepal
We sequenced Leishmania donovani genomes in blood samples collected in emerging foci of Visceral Leishmaniasis, in West Nepal. We detected lineages which are very different from pre-elimination main parasite population: a new lineage and a rare one previously reported once in East Nepal. We highlight the need for genomic surveillance.
