indicates that the genotypes were found in more than one isolate in one geographical focus.
and indicate that the genotypes were found in more than one isolate in two and all three geographical foci, respectively.
The underlined GM-GC genotypes (GM17-GC2 and GM17-GC2) are found in more than one isolate. 37 GM-GC genotypes were identified from 39 L. tropica isolates.
