  abstract = {{T}welve microsatellite loci of {L}eishmania braziliensis were examined, nine of which were developed in this work. {F}ifty-six {L}eishmania braziliensis were genotyped with these microsatellite loci. {T}he 12 loci studied were polymorphic with the number of alleles ranging from five to 19, with a mean of 9.7 +/- 4.1 and the observed heterozygosity averaging 0.425 +/- 0.202. {T}he important heterozygote deficits we observed ({F}-{IS} = 0.41, {P} value = 0.004) appear incompatible with the heterozygote excess expected in clonal diploids. {T}his last result could revive the clonality/sexuality debate regarding {L}eishmania. {T}his work validates the potential use of these microsatellites for population genetics analysis.},
