Molecular diagnosis of old world leishmaniasis: Real-time PCR based on tryparedoxin peroxidase gene for the detection and identification of leishmania spp

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Rapid and accurate diagnosis and identification of Leishmania sp causing cutaneous leishmaniasis is crucial in control and therapeutic programs. The problem of diagnosis with traditional methods is that they have a low sensitivity or time consuming but molecular techniques would be an alternative method for rapid and accurate diagnosis. In this work, tryparedoxine peroxidase gene-based...
