Identification and Differentiation of Iranian Leishmania Species by PCR Amplification of kDNA
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
We describe the specific identification of Leishmania species in Iran using PCR DNA amplification of kDNA. For this purpose, we designed a pair of primers--upstream 5' TCGCAGAACGCCCCTACC 3' and downstream 5'-AGGGGTTGGTGTAAAATAGGC 3'--specific for conserved sequences of kDNA of Leishmania. Using this primer, we identified 3 different amplified fragments from the kDNA of the WHO reference Leishmania species. Two...
