Development of a novel ddPCR assay for the simultaneous detection of the protozoan parasites Leishmania infantum and Leishmania tarentolae
The protocol can represent a valuable method for comprehensive surveillance in both canine hosts and sand flies in areas in which L. infantum and L. tarentolae occur in sympatry.
