  abstract = {{W}e used 12 microsatellite markers developed for {L}eishmania braziliensis to genotype 28 strains of the main species of the {L}eishmania guyanensis complex (i.e. {L}. guyanensis and {L}. panamensis) collected in {E}cuador and {P}eru. {T}he important heterozygote deficits observed in these populations are similar with the previous data obtained in {L}. braziliensis and raise again the debate on the reproductive mode of these protozoan parasites. {T}he data showed genetic polymorphism and geographical differentiation giving information on population structure of the {L}. guyanensis complex. {R}egarding the two species, this study enhances again the debate on the taxonomic status of the different isolates belonging to {L}. guyanensis s.l. since the results showed substantial heterogeneity within this species complex. {I}n conclusion, this study increases the number of available microsatellite loci for {L}. guyanensis species complex and raises fundamental biological questions. {I}t confirms that microsatellite markers constitute good tools for population genetic studies on parasites of this complex.},
