Parasite burden in hamsters infected with two different strains of leishmania (Leishmania) infantum: "Leishman Donovan units" versus real-time PCR.

Parasite burden in hamsters infected with two different strains of leishmania (Leishmania) infantum: "Leishman Donovan units" versus real-time PCR.

To develop and test new therapeutics and immune prophylaxis strategies for visceral leishmaniasis (VL), understanding tissue parasitism evolution after experimental infection with Leishmania infantum is important. Experimental infection in a hamster model (Mesocricetus auratus) reproduces several ty...
