Typing of four genetic loci discriminates among closely related species of New World Leishmania.

International journal for parasitology - 1 Feb 2009

Tsukayama Pablo, Lucas Carmen, Bacon David J

Abstract excerpt

All New World Leishmania species can cause cutaneous lesions, while only Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis has been associated with mucosal metastases. Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE) is the optimal standard for species identification but is slow and costly. New methods for species identification are needed to ensure proper identification and therapy. The coding regions of four metabolic enzyme markers...
