*<p>Differences are significant at <i>p</i><0.05.</p>a<p>Due to multiple responses, the percentages exceed 100.</p>b<p>Reports of itching and sneezing increased after the first interview.</p

Analytical sensitivity of seven PCRs (Table 2), analyzed on agarose gel.

<p>Only the relevant part of the gels is shown. <i>L</i>. <i>donovani</i> strain MHOM/NP/2003/BPK282/0cl4 DNA was used. The DNA amount used per reaction ranging from 20 ng to 0.2 pg, is indicated on top. The ISC-SLG PCRs are indicated on the left.</p

Year-wise distribution of genotypes.

<p>Years of parasite isolation are at the bottom, genotypes were identified by WGS or ISC-SLG, as indicated. No samples were available from 2005 to 2008, indicated by a double vertical line. Genotypes are shown on the left. The diameter of bubble plots represents the number found in each year. When isolates were derived from different disease episodes of the same patient, they are shown only if the genotypes in these episodes were different, thereby excluding 5/98 and 2/106 isolates characterized by WGS and ISC-SLG respectively.</p
