Whole genome sequencing of experimental hybrids supports meiosis-like sexual recombination in Leishmania.
Hybrid genotypes have been repeatedly described among natural isolates of Leishmania, and the recovery of experimental hybrids from sand flies co-infected with different strains or species of Leishmania has formally demonstrated that members of the genus possess the machinery for genetic exchange. A...
