<i>Leishmania tarentolae</i> and <i>Leishmania infantum</i> in geckos from Mallorca Island, Spain

2025-02-07

Abstract excerpt

Leishmania tarentolae and Leishmania infantum are two sympatric parasites of significant ecological and epidemiological interest in the Mediterranean basin. This study investigated the prevalence of L. tarentolae and L. infantum in two gecko species ( Tarentola mauritanica and Hemidactylus turcicus ) present on Mallorca Island, Spain, using duplex quantitative PCR. A total of 59 geckos were sampled across the...
