Genetic heterogeneity in the species Leishmania tropica revealed by different PCR-based methods
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
A PCR fingerprinting approach, using single non-specific primers, as well as restriction and single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analyses of the amplified ribosomal internal transcribed spacer, were used to investigate genetic variability in the species Leishmania tropica. Twenty-nine strains of the 'L. tropica complex' from different Old World geographical areas were studied including 4 from Namibia,...
