A FRET-based real-time PCR assay to identify the main causal agents of New World tegumentary leishmaniasis.

In South America, various species of Leishmania are endemic and cause New World tegumentary leishmaniasis (NWTL). The correct identification of these species is critical for adequate clinical management and surveillance activities. We developed a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay and e...
