| leishmania spp. identification by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and its applications in french guiana. | leishmania (viannia) guyanensis was for many years the only species commonly identified in french guiana, but precise species identifications were quite rare. we describe a new restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction technique using a 615-bp fragment of the rna polymerase ii gene and 2 restriction enzymes, tspri and hgai. seven reference strains (leishmania (leishmania) amazonensis, leishmania (viannia) lainsoni, leishmania (viannia) braziliensis, l.
