Mitochondrial DNA diversity in the populations of great gerbils, Rhombomys opimus, the main reservoir of cutaneous leishmaniasis

[Display omitted] ► Great gerbil (Rhombomys opimus) is the main reservoir of Leishmania major in central and south Asia. ► We identified two major lineages within the species using the mtDNA cytochrome b gene analysis. ► DNA variation ranged 1–10% among populations, which were well associated with b...
