Genetic diversity evaluation on Portuguese Leishmania infantum strains by multilocus microsatellite typing

•Portuguese Leishmania infantum strains were found to be genetically diverse.•Multilocus microsatellite typing discriminates between MON-1 strains.•Portuguese strains with zymodemes MON-24 and MON-29 are not monophyletic.•Geographical clustering was found in Portuguese L. infantum strains.•A high ra...
