Abstract: Seven isolates from patients with American cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Amazon region of Brazil were phenotypically suggestive of Leishmania (Viannia) guyanensis/L. (V.) shawi hybrids. In this work, two molecular targets were employed to check the hybrid identity of the putative hybrids. Heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) gene sequences were analyzed by three different polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approaches, and two different patterns of inherited hsp70 alleles were found. Three isolates presented heterozygou… Show more

“…They are most common hybrids between closely related species, such as some dispersed on the American continent, namely, L. braziliensis and L. panamensis [ 122 ], L. braziliensis and L. peruviana [ 123 ], L. braziliensis and L. guyanensis [ 124 ], L. naiffi and L. lainsoni [ 125 ], and recently natural L. guyanensis/L. shawi hybrids were isolated from patients with American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in the Amazon region of Brazil [ 126 ]. Hybrids between closely related species from the Old World were also described, namely, L .…”
