Abstract excerpt
In the present study the gp63 gene locus was used as a target for genetic characterization of Leishmania parasites by 2 methods: (i) RFLP analysis with several restriction enzymes (gp63-RFLP), and (ii) intra-genic PCR amplification coupled with restriction analysis (PCR-RFLP). Both methods were applied to a large number of natural isolates belonging to 4 species of the subgenus Viannia, namely L. (V.)...
