Characterization of Leishmania infantum strains in blood samples from infected dogs and humans by PCR-RFLP
16 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
Characterization of Leishmania infantum is based on zymodeme analysis, which requires parasite isolation and therefore is not routinely employed. Moreover, the majority of strains in the Mediterranean Basin belong to zymodeme MON-1, and this is a major limitation for this technique in epidemiological studies in this region. We developed a PCR-RFLP method based on kDNA amplification, which was able to discriminate...
