Abstract excerpt
Leishmania infantum is the causative agent of canine and human visceral leishmaniasis in Israel and Palestine. Amplification of the kinetoplast DNA (kDNA), followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis with restriction enzymes was used to examine the genotypic association between L. infantum strains isolated from 22 dogs and 2 humans from these adjoining regions. Results showed wide kDNA...
