Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis causes three main types of American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL), localized cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), mucosal leishmaniasis (ML), and disseminated leishmaniasis (DL). All forms are observed among individuals of Corte de Pedra, Brazil. We previously used random amplified markers to identify a multiclonal population among L. (V.) braziliensis isolates from ATL patients, defining parasite clades associated with different clinical syndromes. Herein we compared sequences of random amplified markers to identify genotypes of L. (V.) braziliensis recovered from lesions of CL, ML, and DL patients. Six polymorphic genomic loci were sequenced from 35 parasite isolates. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions-deletions (indels) at each locus allowed us to segregate the L. (V.) braziliensis population according to haplotypes. Several SNPs, indels, and haplotypes were significantly associated with an increased risk of DL. Molecular genotyping may provide markers to identify L. (V.) braziliensis strains likely to cause this emerging, hard-to-treat form of ATL.
巴西利什曼原虫(Viannia)引起三种主要类型的美洲皮肤利什曼病(ATL),局限性皮肤利什曼病(CL),粘膜利什曼病(ML)和播散性利什曼病(DL)。巴西 Corte de Pedra 的个体均观察到所有这些形式。我们先前使用随机扩增标记物来鉴定 ATL 患者的 L.(V.)巴西利什曼原虫分离株中的多克隆群体,定义了与不同临床综合征相关的寄生虫群。在此,我们比较了随机扩增标记物的序列,以鉴定从 CL、ML 和 DL 患者病变中恢复的 L.(V.)巴西利什曼原虫的基因型。从 35 个寄生虫分离株中测序了六个多态性基因组基因座。每个基因座的单核苷酸多态性(SNP)和插入缺失(indel)使我们能够根据单倍型对 L.(V.)巴西利什曼原虫种群进行分类。一些 SNP、indels 和单倍型与 DL 的风险增加显著相关。分子基因分型可能提供标记物,以鉴定可能导致这种新兴的难以治疗的 ATL 形式的 L.(V.)巴西利什曼原虫菌株。
