Abstract
We sequenced Leishmania donovani genomes in blood samples collected in emerging foci of Visceral Leishmaniasis, in West Nepal. We detected lineages which are very different from pre-elimination main parasite population: a new lineage and a rare one previously reported once in East Nepal. We highlight the need for genomic surveillance.
