  • Title: Coinfection of Leptomonas seymouri and Leishmania donovani in Indian leishmaniasis.
    Author: Ghosh S, Banerjee P, Sarkar A, Datta S, Chatterjee M.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2012 Aug; 50(8):2774-8. PubMed ID: 22622439.
    Abstract:
    Leishmania donovani is considered the causative organism of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL). Testing of 4/29 DNA samples from VL and PKDL patients as well as 2/7 field isolates showed an aberrant internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) pattern, which upon sequencing strongly matched Leptomonas seymouri, thus confirming its presence in Indian leishmaniasis.
