Fig 2. Multilocus genotypes (MLGs) assigned by MLMT found in Leishmania infantum-infected dogs in an endemic area of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil.

Microsatellite marker (MLMT) analysis was performed using DNA from tissue-derived L. infantum cultures or tissue DNA spleens. Due to missing data, 64 analyzed samples could not be genotyped. The remaining 22 samples were successfully assigned to an MLG (A to I). Three MLGs were found in more than one tissue. One genotype (A) was detected in all samples except those derived from ascites.
