Abstract :

This paper presents a research plan and preliminary data of a PhD project on the genetics of Leishmania strains and sand fly species isolated from Albaha province, Saudi Arabia with emphasis on markers for drug resistance and diversity in the sequences and relevant transport proteins to gain insights in the epidemiology and diversity of Leishmaniasis in the region.
