LEISHMANIA DONOVANI & LEISHMANIA INFANTUM

A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Leishmania donovani & Leishmania infantum

Leishmania donovani and Leishmania infantum are protozoan parasites that cause visceral leishmaniasis, a potentially fatal disease affecting humans and animals. Commonly known as kala-azar, symptoms include fever, weight loss, and enlarged spleen and liver. Early detection is crucial as untreated cases can lead to severe complications and death. These targets are important to detect in the human and veterinary sectors to prevent outbreaks and ensure prompt treatment.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Leishmania donovani and Leishmania infantum allows for sensitive and specific detection of these pathogens, enabling early diagnosis and treatment. Rapid detection of these targets can prevent the spread of the disease, reduce mortality rates, and control outbreaks effectively. Investing in this technology can have a significant impact on public health and animal welfare, ultimately saving lives and reducing healthcare costs.
