Restriction pattern of the amplified ribosomal Internal Transcribed Spacer 1 using HaeIII. Reference strains used were: Leishmania infantum MHOM/FR/78/LEM75 (Lane 1) (three fragments of 187 bp, 72 bp and 55 bp), Leishmania killicki MHOM/TN/LEM163 (Lane 2) (three fragments of 188 bp, 57 bp and 26 bp) and L. major MHOM/MA/81/LEM265 (Lane 3) (two fragments of 206 bp and 132 bp). Restriction pattern of the PCR products amplified from the two Ctenodactylus gundi bone marrow (Lane 4 and 5) are the same as Leishmania killicki profile (Lane 2).
