Correction: Multilocus Sequence Analysis for Leishmania braziliensis Outbreak Investigation
With the emergence of leishmaniasis in new regions around the world, molecular epidemiological methods with adequate discriminatory power, reproducibility, high throughput and inter-laboratory comparability are needed for outbreak investigation of this complex parasitic disease. As multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) has been projected as the future gold standard technique for Leishmania specie...

متن کاملMultilocus sequence typing and antigen gene sequencing in the investigation of a meningococcal disease outbreak.
Multilocus sequence typing and antigen gene sequencing were used to investigate an outbreak of meningococcal disease in a university in the United Kingdom. The data obtained showed that five distinct Neisseria meningitidis strains belonging to the ET-37 complex were present in the student population during the outbreak. Three of these strains were not associated with invasive disease, and two d...
متن کاملDogs as Reservoirs for Leishmania braziliensis
based on the consideration that R. aeschlimannii is usually found in ticks of the genus Hyalomma, primarily in H. marginatum (1). Therefore, 1 of the PCRs amplifi ed a fragment of the Hyalomma tick mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene and the other a fragment of the internal transcribed spacer 2 (7). The ITS2 fragment displayed the highest (99%) similarity with the respective fragment of H. ...
متن کاملExtreme inbreeding in Leishmania braziliensis.
Leishmania species of the subgenus Viannia and especially Leishmania braziliensis are responsible for a large proportion of New World leishmaniasis cases. The reproductive mode of Leishmania species has often been assumed to be predominantly clonal, but remains unsettled. We have investigated the genetic polymorphism at 12 microsatellite loci on 124 human strains of Leishmania braziliensis from...
