In our study, all of the isolates could be identified, and no misidentifications were observed at the complex level.enMass spectrometryLeishmaniasisCharacterization (materials science)LeishmaniaBiologyMatrix (chemical analysis)Computational biologyChemistryUsefulness of Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry in the Characterization of <i>Leishmania</i> Strains Causing Tegumentary Leishmaniasis in Bolivia versus <i>hsp70</i> Gene Sequencingarticle
