Leishmania is an intracellular protistan parasite affecting macrophages and dendritic cells. Leishmania infections result in a wide range of symptoms in human hosts depending on the species or strain involved. Several whole genome sequences currently exist for Leishmania species. To correct sequencing and assembly errors and examine interstrain variation pair-end sequencing runs were performed with 76 base pair reads on the Illumina genome analyzer..
