# Draft genome sequence of Leishmania tropica isolated from a cutaneous leishmaniasis patient in Pakistan

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome sequence of Leishmania tropica, a parasite causing cutaneous leishmaniasis in Pakistan.

## Contribution

The study provides a new draft genome sequence of L. tropica isolated from a patient in Pakistan.

## Key findings

- The genome sequence was obtained from a cutaneous leishmaniasis patient in Pakistan.
- This draft genome can aid in understanding the genetic basis of L. tropica in the region.

## Abstract

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a major health issue in Pakistan, mainly caused by Leishmania tropica (L. tropica). Here, we report the draft genome sequence of an L. tropica isolate from a CL patient in Pakistan.
