“…For the detection of genomic Leishmania DNA, the PCR procedure described by Piarroux et al [30] was used with minor modifications. This procedure permitted the identification of a highly repetitive 100 bp sequence of L. infantum.…”

“…The current state of the art diagnosis of L. siamensis infection relies on PCR and nucleotide sequencing. These techniques are more sensitive than others, 6,9,[28][29][30][31] and they can now be performed in most provincial and university hospitals in Thailand. Although use of traditional screening tests for this disease is being investigated, PCR could be used for survey and surveillance studies, including asymptomatic persons.…”

“…PCR with specific primers D1 and D2 for the L. donovani complex resulted in the amplification of kDNA of the L. (L.) donovani DD8 and L. (L.) infantum/chagasi PP75 reference strains, and bone marrow and liver biopsy from a patient from Chiapas with VL were amplified [16,21].…”

“…PCR of the L. braziliensis complex was done with the B1 and B2 primers [8]. PCR for L. donovani complex was done with the D1 and D2 primers [16]. PCR amplification conditions were performed as described previously [8,13,14,16,17].…”
