Leishmania sp DNA [Identifier] in Bone marrow by NAA with probe detection
Active
Term Description
Molecular techniques are used to detect Leishmania DNA in bone marrow samples in order to diagnose visceral leishmaniasis and identify the causative species. Although splenic aspirate testing is more sensitive than bone marrow, the bone marrow aspiration procedure is much safer than splenic aspiration, which can be associated with life-threatening hemorrhage in patients with 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.
