Journal ArticleDOI
A Historical Overview of the Classification, Evolution, and Dispersion of Leishmania Parasites and Sandflies
Mohammad Akhoundi,Katrin Kuhls,Arnaud Cannet,Jan Votýpka,Pierre Marty,Pascal Delaunay,Denis Sereno +6 more
TL;DR: An updated view of events that have played important roles in the geographical dispersion of sandflies, in relation to both the Leishmania species they transmit and the animal reservoirs of the parasites is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary and geographical history of the Leishmania donovani complex with a revision of current taxonomy
Julius Lukeš,Isabel Mauricio,Gabriele Schönian,Jean-Claude Dujardin,Ketty Soteriadou,Jean-Pierre Dedet,Katrin Kuhls,K. Wilber Quispe Tintaya,Milan Jirků,Eva Chocholová,Eva Chocholová,Christos Haralambous,Francine Pratlong,Miroslav Oborník,Miroslav Oborník,Aleš Horák,Aleš Horák,Francisco J. Ayala,Michael A. Miles +18 more
TL;DR: A new taxonomy is proposed, in which Leishmania infantum and L.Donovani are the only recognized species of the L. donovani complex, and an evolutionary hypothesis for the origin and dispersal of the species is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular evidence that the asexual industrial fungus Trichoderma reesei is a clonal derivative of the ascomycete Hypocrea jecorina
Katrin Kuhls,Elke Lieckfeldt,Gary J. Samuels,Werner J. Kovacs,Wieland Meyer,Orlando Petrini,Walter Gams,Thomas Börner,Christian P. Kubicek +8 more
TL;DR: Identical ITS sequences and the high similarity of PCR-fingerprinting patterns indicate a very close relationship between T. reesei/H.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leishmania infections: Molecular targets and diagnosis
Mohammad Akhoundi,Tim Downing,Jan Votýpka,Katrin Kuhls,Julius Lukeš,Arnaud Cannet,Christophe Ravel,Pierre Marty,Pascal Delaunay,Mohamed Kasbari,Bruno Granouillac,Luigi Gradoni,Denis Sereno +12 more
TL;DR: A classification method based on the suitability of well-studied molecular markers for typing the 21 known Leishmania species pathogenic to humans is proposed, which can be applied to newly discovered species and to hybrid strains originating from inter-species crosses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative microsatellite typing of new world leishmania infantum reveals low heterogeneity among populations and its recent old world origin.
Katrin Kuhls,Mohammad Zahangir Alam,Elisa Cupolillo,Gabriel Eduardo Melim Ferreira,Isabel Mauricio,Rolando Oddone,M. Dora Feliciangeli,Thierry Wirth,Michael A. Miles,Gabriele Schönian +9 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that the agent of VL in the NW is L. infantum and that the parasite has been recently imported multiple times to the NW from southwest Europe.
