Background Three major forms of human disease, cutaneous leishmaniasis, visceral
leishmaniasis and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, are caused by several leishmanial …

Background Leishmaniases are tropical zoonotic diseases, caused by parasites from the
genus Leishmania. New World (NW) species are related to sylvatic cycles although …

For the epidemiological monitoring and clinical case management of leishmaniasis,
determination of the causative Leishmania species gains importance. Current assays for the …

The aim of this study was to develop a simple, low-cost method for the detection and species
differentiation of Leishmania directly from clinical samples, for routine use in a parasitology …

We describe a new fluorogenic assay for the identification of species and intraspecies
groups within the Leishmania donovani complex. The assay combined (1) 2 polymerase …

We have designed a new genotyping scheme for molecular diagnosis of the different
Leishmania species pathogenic to humans. This scheme is based on PCR amplified …

In South America, various species of Leishmania are endemic and cause New World
tegumentary leishmaniasis (NWTL). The correct identification of these species is critical for …

Background: The aim of present study was describing a real-time PCR assay for the
diagnosis and direct identification of Leishmania species on Giemsa-stained slides in south …

Abstract Objective To identify the Leishmania species in infected sand flies by Real-time
PCR coupled with HRM analysis. Methods Real-time PCR coupled with HRM analysis …

Objective To develop a new PCR for Leishmania detection and to estimate its diagnostic
accuracy in a visceral leishmaniasis (VL) endemic area. Methods After providing the proof …
