Abstract excerpt
We report here the cloning of kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) sequences from Leishmania aethiopica in order to develop a specific and sensitive method for the identification of the parasite. Analysis of the cloned kDNA sequences showed different taxonomic specificities demonstrating sequence diversity within the kinetoplast DNA. Cloned whole minicircle hybridized with all Old World Leishmania species tested. Some cloned...
