Eleven stocks that expressed nine zymodemes were assigned to L. (Leishmania) major. All of them were isolated from patients in the lowlands of Larkana district and Sibi city in Sindh and Balochistan provinces, respectively. The remaining six, distributed in two zymodemes (five and one), isolated from the highland of Quetta city, Balochistan, were identified as L. (L.) tropica. The same result at species level was obtained by the Cyt b sequencing for all the stocks examined.

Beyond the Sipahs, Jaishs and Lashkars Sectarian Violence in Pakistan as Reproduction of Exclusivist Sectarian Discourse Katja RIIKONEN Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Peace Studies University of Bradford 2012 ABSTRACT Katja Riikonen Beyond the Sipahs, Jaishs and Lashkars - Sectarian violence in Pakistan as reproduction of exclusivist Sectarian Discourse Keywords: Pakistan, sectarianism, sectarian violence, identity politics, sectarian discourse, religious violence This research project examines sectarianism and sectarian violence in Pakistan between 1996-2005. It represents a departure from the security- focused research on sectarianism and provides contemporary analysis of sectarian violence by contextualising it. This thesis distinguishes sectarianism as an analytical concept from sectarianism as a phenomenon in Pakistan. The existing literature on sectarianism and sectarianism in the Pakistani context is critically examined, and this research is located within that body of knowledge. In this thesis, sectarian violence is understood as being conducted to reproduce and reinforce exclusivist sectarian discourse. This premise is analysed through the framework of identity formation and identity politics, and spatial understandings of identities. The study examines the locations of sectarian violence in Pakistan, and analyses the spaces where sectarian identity discourse is enforced and maintained through violence. Consequently, the concept of sacred space and sacred time are analysed as locations of sectarian violence.
