Abstract
The present invention enables detection, and isolation of DNP, specific to leishmanias, and identification of the sequence thereof. Accordingly, a leishmania protozoan can be precisely detected. The present invention can be applied to a diagnosis reagent, diagnosis kit, and the like for diagnosing infection with a leishmania protozoan. Furthermore, brazil type leishmanias and mexico type leishmania can be differentiated, whereby the present invention can be applied to development of a remedy after the diagnosis of the leishmania infection. The present invention can be applied also to development of a reagent, a diagnosis kit, and the like for large-group examination for examining quickly and simply a large number of samples at a time in leishmaniasis propagating area.
