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

Senne Heeren, Lilian Motta Cantanhêde, Khaled Chourabi…·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.
