A duplex real-time PCR assay for the detection and differentiation of Leishmania infantum and Leishmania tarentolae in vectors and potential reservoir hosts
2021-04-09
Abstract excerpt
Leishmanioses are vector-borne diseases, some of zoonotic concern, transmitted by phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera, Psychodidae). Reports of reptile-associated Leishmania tarentolae in humans, and of Leishmania infantum in Sergentomyia minuta sand flies prompted the development of an internal transcribed spacer 1-based duplex quantitative real-time PCR (dqPCR) to detect and differentiate these Leishmania spp. The...
