Figure 4From: Molecular identification of potential leishmaniasis vector species within the Phlebotomus (Euphlebotomus) argentipes species complex in Sri LankaGel images for blood meal analysis (a) and Leishmania detection PCR (b). a) Agarose gel (1.5 %) image of the blood meal analysis using the universal vertebrate cytb primers; (M- marker lane, 1- PCR done with human DNA, 2- PCR done with cattle DNA, 3-8 in row1 and 1-12 in row2 the PCR done with sandfly extractions). b) Semi nested PCR amplified products of mini circle kinetoplastid DNA: (M- Marker [100bp] Lanes 1-8 in row1 and 1-7 in row 2 are female Ph. (Eup.) argentipes sibling species A from Hambantota, lane 8- negative control; male Ph. (Eup.) argentipes sibling species A extract from Hambantota ). c) ITS1 PCR amplified products in 1.5% agarose gel (M- 100 bp marker, 1 and 9- negative controls [1- female sibling species B from Delft, 9- male sibling species A from Hambantota, all the other lanes are sibling species A female extracts from Hambantota).Back to article page
