Design of primer pairs for species-specific diagnosis of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi using PCR Construção de pares de primers para a detecção espécie-específica de Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi por PCR

The objective of this study was to design and evaluate new primers for species-specific detection of L. infantum chagasi using PCR. Two combinations of primer pairs were established with the aim of obtaining specific amplification products from the L. infantum chagasi 18S rRNA gene. The combinations...
