HSP70 sequence analysis of Leishmania strains included in this study compared against reference sequences from GenBank. Strains of this study are identified with a black square, followed by the strain name, region where it was found (district or health facility in parenthesis), clinical form (abbreviations see main text), sample ID and GenBank accession number in parentheses. Reference sequences are identified with their GenBank accession followed by the strain name. Sequences of the Leishmania mexicana species complex were used as outgroup. The main dendrogram was constructed based on a partial 1245-bp fragment of the coding sequence (fragment F in [18]). For one additional strain only the 552-bp N fragment could be determined, and the Leishmania donovani species complex from the corresponding analysis is shown in the top left insert. Bootstrap support is depicted in percentages at the nodes if > 50%. The distance scale is shown at the bottom left
