Table 3 Reports of leishmaniasis from Thailand and Myanmar ordered by year of isolation. Where done, identification was performed by sequencing one or more DNA targets. Those identified with^a were originally or subsequently reported as “L. siamensis” but later identified to be L. martiniquensis by Pothirat et al. [6]. Those identified with^b were originally reported as “L. siamensis” but shown in this study to be very similar to L. orientalis
