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 2–5) 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 (C−) were included.
