Some changes of the write-up are recommended as follows<br>> in red for your consideration:<br>><br>> Advances in Molecular Epidemiology of Leishmaniasis<br>><br>> Call for Papers<br>><br>> Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by protozoa in the genus Leishmania that<br>> is transmitted by female phlebotomine sand flies. Leishmaniasis has a wide<br>> geographical distribution and diverse transmission cycles. Surveillance of<br>> Leishmania and sandfly vector species for their prevalence in endemic and<br>> surrounding areas is important for predicting the risk of emergence and<br>> spread of the disease as well as the changing clinical or ecoepidemiological<br>> trends. Advances have been made in molecular parasitology, yielding new<br>> techniques and bioinformatics to facilitate analysis of the etiologic agents<br>> for epidemiological and clinical investigation. We invite authors to submit<br>> original research and review articles to this special issue focusing on<br>> genetic heterogeneity of Leishmania isolates from patients, reservoir<br>> animals, and vectors with special emphasis on the new discoveries of<br>> infection by multiple species in given endemic foci.<br>><br>> Information on molecular identification of clinical isolates, geographical<br>> distribution of the disease, and mode of parasite transmission are all<br>> crucial elements in formulating adequate strategy to provide effective<br>> treatment, accurate prognosis, and appropriate public health control<br>> measures.<br>><br>> The information presented in this special issue will be useful to local and<br>> national health authorities for evaluating the leishmaniasis burden and<br>> highlighting priority actions for disease control.<br>><br>> Potential topics for this volume include, but are not limited to:<br>><br>> Emerging clinical or ecoepidemiological trends (including drug resistance)<br>> Parasite transmission cycles<br>> Co-existence of different Leishmania species or related kinetoplastid<br>> species<br>> Study of genomes, genetic markers, and parasite determinants in field<br>> isolates<br>> Molecular characterization of clinical and field isolates, especially<br>> within-samples parasite heterogeneity<br>> Population genetic and epidemiological studies of Leishmania species and<br>> isolates<br>><br>><br>> KP<br>><br>> On Tue, May 19, 2015 at 5:04 AM, Mariam Khaled <<a ymailto="mailto:mariam.khaled@hindawi.com" href="mailto:mariam.khaled@hindawi.com">mariam.khaled@hindawi.com</a>><br>> wrote:<br>>><br>>> Dear Dr. Chang,<br>>><br>>> I hope my email finds you well, and I apologize for not contacting you<br>>> earlier.
