Genomic evidence for phylogenetic congruence with sporadic host shifts in leishmaniaviruses and their parasite hosts

Senne Heeren, Lilian Motta Cantanhêde, Khaled Chourabi, Mayara Cristhine de Oliveira Santana, Joon Klaps, Alexei Yu. Kostygov, Vyacheslav Yurchenko, Philippe Lemey, Jean‐Claude Dujardin, Frederik Van den Broeck, Elisa Cupolillo

This study investigates the co-phylogenetic history of Leishmania parasites and Leishmaniavirus, finding strong phylogenetic congruence at the subgenus and species level, with weaker signals in some cases due to intraspecific host switching.

Evolutionary genomics of a zoonotic parasite across the Neotropical Realm

Senne Heeren, Mandy J Sanders, Jeffrey Jon Shaw, Sinval Pinto Brandão-Filho, Mariana Côrtes Boité, Lilian Motta Cantanhêde, Khaled Chourabi, Ilse Maes, Alejandro Llanos‐Cuentas, Jorge Arévalo, Jorge Diego Marco, Philippe Lemey, James Anthony Cotton, Jean‐Claude Dujardin, Elisa Cupolillo, Frederik Van den Broeck

The paper analyzes the genomic diversity of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis across the Neotropical Realm, identifying two major parasite groups associated with different biomes and highlighting ecological and epidemiological differences.
