Detection of Leishmania SP. by PCR method

There is a conservative region of more than 130 bp long in the mitochondria genome of Leishmania mexicana M379 clone E8, and this it is found across many other Leishmania spp. Based on this notion, a pair of PCR primers were designed to amplify the corresponding regions in the minicircles of many other Leishmania species such as L.major, L.donovani. PCR method can be used to detect protozoa in Vietnam
