PCR-based amplification of kDNA gene. Bands on the electrophoresis gel are related to PCR of DNA extracted from the lesion (Lm1) or spleen tissue samples (Lm 2ā€“5) of R. rattus (Lm1), R. rattus (Lm2), M. musculus (Lm3), and Meriones persicus (Lm5). Reference samples of Leishmania infantum (Li+), L. tropica (Lt+), and L. major (Lm+) and negative control (Cāˆ’) were included.
