Journal ArticleDOI
PCR diagnosis and characterization of Leishmania in local and imported clinical samples.
Gabriele Schönian,Abedelmajeed Nasereddin,Nicole Dinse,Carola Schweynoch,Henk D. F. H. Schallig,Wolfgang Presber,Charles L. Jaffe +6 more
TL;DR: The sensitivity of two PCR approaches which amplify part of the ssu rRNA gene and the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer, respectively, was determined using human and dog blood seeded with Leishmania promastigotes to diagnose leishmaniasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cutaneous leishmaniasis: recent developments in diagnosis and management.
TL;DR: This review focuses on recent developments in the diagnosis, treatment, management, and strategies for the prevention and control of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) caused by both Old and New World Leishmania species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes in differential stages of development by quantitative nucleic acid sequence-based amplification.
Petra Schneider,Gerard J. Schoone,Henk D. F. H. Schallig,Danielle F. Verhage,D.S.C. Telgt,Wijnand Eling,Robert Sauerwein +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that sexual stage commitment can occur early in the blood-stage infection without successful maturation into infectious gametocytes, and allow for the separate quantification of all developmental stages present in the circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-Time Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification Is More Convenient than Real-Time PCR for Quantification of Plasmodium falciparum
Petra Schneider,Liselotte Wolters,Gerard J. Schoone,Henk D. F. H. Schallig,Peter Sillekens,Rob Hermsen,Robert W. Sauerwein +6 more
TL;DR: Real-time quantitative nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (QT-NASBA) is preferred over that of real-time QT-PCR for sensitive and accurate detection of P. falciparum parasites in large numbers of samples, and both techniques show a significant correlation to microscopic parasite counts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microsatellite analysis reveals genetic structure of Leishmania tropica.
Jan M. Schwenkenbecher,Thierry Wirth,Lionel F. Schnur,Charles L. Jaffe,Henk D. F. H. Schallig,Amer Al-Jawabreh,Omar Hamarsheh,Kifaya Azmi,Francine Pratlong,Gabriele Schönian +9 more
TL;DR: In Africa and the Middle East, anthroponotic and zoonotic systems of distribution may contribute to the development of overlapping, genetically distinct populations of L. tropica.
