Elevated baseline expression of seven virulence factor RNA transcripts in visceralizing species of : a preliminary quantitative PCR study

Introduction: Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease that manifests as three major disease phenotypes: cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral. In this preliminary study, we quantified virulence factor (VF) RNA transcript expression in Leishmania species, stratified by geographic origin and pr...
