L. martiniquensis = Leishmania martiniquensis; L. siamensis = Leishmania siamensis; N/A = not available.
Small subunit ribosomal RNA gene.
Internal transcribed spacer 1 of SSU-rRNA gene.
Heat shock protein 70 gene.
Clarified species by sequence analysis using GenBank database of the three genes; L. siamensis (SSU-rRNA/JQ280883, ITS1/JQ001751, hsp70/KC202880) and L. martiniquensis (SSU-rRNA/JN885899, ITS1/JX195637, and hsp70/KC202882).
Unpublished accession number from Sukmee and others (2008), first referred in Bualert and others (2012).
The sequences of accession number JQ001752 and KF227887 to KF227892 were obtained from the specimens collected from the same source but different site of specimen collection. All sequences showed 100% identical.
