BackgroundSchistosomiasis (SCH) and soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) are known to be endemic in Yemen. However, the distribution of both diseases had not previously been assessed by a well-structured national mapping study covering all governorat

Leishmaniasis, a public health problem in Tunisia, are diseases caused by different Leishmania species. Cutaneous leishmaniasis is present from the North to the South under different forms, due to Leishmania (L.) major, L. infantum or L. tropica. Whe

Both the urinary and intestinal forms of schistosomiasis are thought to be widespread in the Republic of Yemen, with estimates of 3 million people infected and 600 000 suffering clinical morbidity. Sub-national control has been ongoing since 2006 via

A kinetoplast DNA probe diagnostic for Leishmania major: sequence homologies between regions of Leishmania minicircles

Autor: Deborah F. Smith, Susan Searle, Marina Gramiccia, Paul D. Ready, Riadh Ben-Ismail

Publikováno v: Molecular and biochemical parasitology. 37(2)

A restriction fragment from a cloned kinetoplast minicircle DNA has been shown to be diagnostic for Leishmania major. This 402-bp TaqI fragment has been used routinely (as a radiolabelled probe) to detect 10(4) parasites in simple dot blots, both exp
