Genetic analysis of Leishmania infantum isolates from the study area. Neighbor-joining tree indicating that strains from Uzbekistan represent a unique genetic group of L. infantum MON-1. This unrooted tree was inferred from Dps (proportion of shared alleles) distance measure calculated for the data of 14 microsatellite markers. The microsatellite profiles of the Uzbeki strains (arrow) were compared to those of L. infantum MON-1 from Mediterranean foci of zoonotic VL, of L. infantum non-MON-1 strains and L. donovani strains of different origins (Alam et al. 2009). Strains with identical profiles appear only once in the tree. DZ = Algeria, TN = Tunisia, ES = Spain, PT = Portugal, FR = France, IT = Italy, GR = Greece, TR = Turkey, EG = Egypt.
