Abstract
The primary structure of the edited part of the MURF4 (ATPase6) gene was co mpared for seven species of flagellate Leishmania. The length of this regio n in all cases was identical and the sequences proved to be highly homologo us. The observed differences appear to correspond to the taxonomic position of the species, which belong to three subgenera, Sauroleishmania, Leishman ia, and Viannia.
