The LshSpp dtec-qPCR comprises a series of species-specific targeted reagents designed for detection by using qPCR of species of the genus Leishmania (Leishmania major, L. tropica, L. infantum, L. chagasi, L. donovani, L. mexicana venezuelensis, L. aethiopica, L. amazonensis, L. mexicana amazonensis, L. turanica, L. gerbilli, L. panamensis, L. braziliensis, etc.). Leishmania is a genus of Trypanosomatid protozoa, and is the parasite responsible for the disease leishmaniasis. It is spread through sandflies of the genus Phlebotomusin the Old World, and of the genus Lutzomyiain the New World. Their primary hosts are vertebrates; Leishmania commonly infects hyraxes, canids,rodents, and humans. Leishmania currently affects 12 million people in 88 countries. The parasite was named in 1903 after the Scottish pathologist William Boog Leishman.
