Molecular diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis and identification of the causative Leishmania species in Morocco by using three PCR-based assays

A total number of 231 sera of symptomatic and asymptomatic cases and controls from three endemic regions of visceral leishmaniasis in East Sudan, North India and South France

In this study, we evaluated three commercial multiplex PCR assays, BD Max TM Enteric Parasite Panel (Becton Dickinson, Pont-de-Claix, France), G-DiaPara TM (Diagenode

Diagnosis of mediterranean visceral leishmaniasis by detection of leishmania antibodies and leishmania DNA in oral fluid samples collected using an Oracol device.... All

Here, cellular and humoral immune responses of healed CL (hCL) and Mediterranean visceral leishmaniasis (MVL) patients were evaluated against results for Leishmania major

major from L. tropica using PCR-RFLP has been previously reported 31 and the melting temperature analysis could sometimes be difficult in RT-PCR assay. In our study, in comparison

and the similarities of the immune responses between the healed and the asymptomatic populations in CL endemic areas, it is plausible that Leishmania species persist inside the skin
