Screening for <i>Schistosoma</i> spp. and <i>Leishmania</i> spp. DNA in Serum of Ghanaian Patients with Acquired Immunodeficiency

Screening for <i>Schistosoma</i> spp. and <i>Leishmania</i> spp. DNA in Serum of Ghanaian Patients with Acquired Immunodeficiency

Both <i>Schistosoma</i> spp. (species) and <i>Leishmania</i> spp. are prevalent in Ghana in West Africa. However, little is known about their local occurrence in immunocompromised individuals. In the study presented here, the real-time PCR-(polymerase chain reaction-)based sc...
