<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Through molecular methods, including the sequence of genes coding for isoenzymes, VL isolates from Sudan have all been
<i>L. donovani</i>, including those from dogs (unpublished). However, some zymodemes do have some gene sequences that are typically
<i>L. infantum</i> sequences (notably ASAT/GOT) – see Mauricio et al 2006 for example . The most likely explanation being that they are recombinant forms between the two “species” of the
<i>L. donovani</i> complex. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">In Mauricio et al (2007) two strains from dogs were also included, one from Iraq (Sukkar2) (also see Mauricio et al., 2006) and another from Italy, which clustered with
<i>L. donovani</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">In Mauricio et al (2004 and 2001) there was also included a canine strain from Kenya, which showed
<i>L. donovani</i> profiles.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">These strains are not only from different countries, but also different genetic groups within
<i>L. donovani</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">I suspect that <i>L. donovani</i> is more widespread in dogs than it is recognized in the literature.
