Fast multiplex real-time PCR assay for simultaneous detection of dog and human blood and Leishmania parasites in sand flies
20 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The blood-feeding behaviour of female sand flies may increase their likelihood of acquiring and transmitting Leishmania parasites. Studies on the host usage by these insects may thus improve our understanding of the Leishmania transmission risk in leishmaniasis-endemic areas. Here, we developed a fast multiplex real-time PCR assay for simultaneous detection of dog, human and Leishmania DNA in sand...
