Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry applied to virus identification

Virus detection and/or identification traditionally rely on methods based on cell culture, electron microscopy and antigen or nucleic acid detection. These techniques are good, but often expensive and/or time-consuming; furthermore, they not always lead to virus identification at the species and/or type level. In this study, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectr...

leishmaniasis in turkey: determination of leishmania species by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (maldi-tof ms).

background: cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) is endemic in southeastern anatolia, mainly in sanliurfa and hatay provinces, and the causative agents are mostly leishmania tropica and less frequently l. infantum . here, we report the first mal-di-tof analyses of leishmania promastigotes obtained from the cultures of two cl cases from osmaniye and hatay provinces who were initially diagnosed by micros...
