Phylogenetic analysis of isolates from study of autochthonous Leishmania (Mundinia) martiniquensis infections in horses, Czech Republic and Austria, 2019–2023. Analysis of the internal transcribed spacer 1 sequences was conducted using a maximum-likelihood tree with L. infantum as an outgroup; GenBank accession numbers precede the host and locality description. Red bold text indicates cases from this study. Black bold text indicates previous cases from Europe. Node support values were derived through bootstrapping with 1,000 replicates. Scale bar indicates number of nucleotide substitutions per site.
