Leishmania sp DNA [Identifier] in Tissue by NAA with probe detection
Active
Term Description
Molecular techniques are used to detect Leishmania DNA in tissue samples in order to diagnose cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis and to identify the causative species. Specimens from skin lesions can be used for cutaneous disease, and liver or lymph node biopsy specimens are an alternative to bone marrow or whole blood for diagnosing visceral leishmaniasis.

Part Descriptions
LP14824-4 Leishmania sp
A genus of flagellate protozoa comprising several species that are pathogenic for humans. Organisms of this genus have an amastigote and a promastigote stage in their life cycles. As a result of enzymatic studies this single genus has been divided into two subgenera: Leishmania leishmania and Leishmania viannia. Species within the Leishmania leishmania subgenus include: L. aethiopica, L. arabica, L. donovani, L. enrietti, L. gerbilli, L. hertigi, L. infantum, L. major, L. mexicana, and L. tropica. The following species are those that compose the Leishmania viannia subgenus: L. braziliensis, L. guyanensis, L. lainsoni, L. naiffi, and L. shawi.

LP14824-4 Leishmania sp
Leishmania is a genus of trypanosome protozoa, and is the parasite responsible for the disease leishmaniasis.[1][2] It is spread through sandflies of the genus Phlebotomus in the Old World, and of the genus Lutzomyia in the New World. Their primary hosts are vertebrates; Leishmania commonly infects hyraxes, canids, rodents, and humans. Leishmania currently affects 12 million people in 88 countries.
