| isolation and molecular identification of leishmania (viannia) peruviana from naturally infected lutzomyia peruensis (diptera: psychodidae) in the peruvian andes. | leishmania (viannia) peruviana was isolated from 1/75 lutzomyia peruensis captured during may 2006 in an endemic cutaneous leishmaniasis region of the peruvian andes (chaute, huarochiri, lima, peru). sand fly gut with promastigotes was inoculated into a hamster and the remaining body was fixed in ethanol. l. (viannia) sp. was determined by polymerase chain reaction (pcr), and leishmania species through molecular genotyping by pcr-restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses targeting the ge ... | 2007 | 17710315 |
