Evaluating the accuracy of molecular diagnostic testing for canine visceral leishmaniasis using latent class analysis.

Evaluating the accuracy of molecular diagnostic testing for canine visceral leishmaniasis using latent class analysis.

Host tissues affected by Leishmania infantum have differing degrees of parasitism. Previously, the use of different biological tissues to detect L. infantum DNA in dogs has provided variable results. The present study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of molecular diagnostic testing (qPCR) in d...
