Source Tracing of Leishmania donovani in Emerging Foci of Visceral Leishmaniasis, Western Nepal.

ABSTRACT: We sequenced Leishmania donovani genomes in blood samples collected in emerging foci of visceral leishmaniasis in western Nepal. We detected lineages very different from the preelimination main parasite population, including a new lineage and a rare one previously reported in eastern Nepal. Our findings underscore the need for genomic surveillance.
