Quantification of Leishmania infantum DNA by a Real-Time PCR Assay with High Sensitivity
TL;DR: A real-time PCR was developed to quantify Leishmania infantum kinetoplast DNA and optimized to reach a sensitivity of 0.0125 parasites/ml of blood and may be useful for epidemiologic and diagnostic purposes, especially for the quantification of parasitemia at low levels during posttherapy follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that Leishmania donovani stimulates the differentiation of Th17 cells, which produce IL-17, IL-22, and IFN-gamma, which play complementary roles in human protection against KA, and that a defect in Th17 induction may increase the risk of KA.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An international consortium of medical mycology laboratories was formed aiming to establish a quality controlled ITS database, containing 2800 ITS sequences representing 421 fungal species, providing the medical community with a freely accessible tool to rapidly and reliably identify most agents of mycoses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Canine leishmaniasis: identification of asymptomatic carriers by polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting
TL;DR: Both PCR and immunoblot are sensitive enough to detect asyptomatic infection and could be valuable tools for studies monitoring the transmission of the disease and vaccination trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of PCR with direct examination of bone marrow aspiration, myeloculture, and serology for diagnosis of visceral Leishmaniasis in immunocompromised patients.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the importance of using PCR as an aid in the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis in immunocompromised patients with consistent negative serological results using several different immunological detection methods.
