The determination of Leishmania by real-time PCR is more sensitive than classical PCR, allowing the use of less invasive samples (peripheral blood), although it is also possible to analyze bone marrow and all types of biopsies (fresh or paraffin-embedded).

Determination of Leishmania by quantitative PCR
This technique allows to accurately quantify the parasitic load, giving the number of parasites per sample.
Analysis
Application / Result
The most immediate application of this approach by quantitative real-time PCR is the monitoring of the evolution of parasitemia over time, allowing monitoring of the response of an animal to a treatment or comparison of different treatments.
Delivery term
The diagnosis is made twice a week, Monday and Wednesday. The sample should be received at the lab before 10 am. If you need an urgent diagnosis, please contact the laboratory.
Technical guarantee
