Analyses of <i>Leishmania</i>-LRV Co-Phylogenetic Patterns and Evolutionary Variability of Viral Proteins

<i>Leishmania</i> spp. are important pathogens causing a vector-borne disease with a broad range of clinical manifestations from self-healing ulcers to the life-threatening visceral forms. Presence of <i>Leishmania RNA virus</i> (LRV) confers survival advantage to these paras...
