Molecular detection ofLeishmaniaspp. in road-killed wild mammals in the Central Western area of the State of São Paulo, Brazil
Background Road-killed wild animals have been classified as sentinels for detecting such zoonotic pathogens asLeishmaniaspp., offering new opportunities for epidemiological studies of this infection.Methods This study aimed to evaluate the presence ofLeishmaniaspp. andLeishmania chagasiDNA by PCR in...
