Abstract
In this study, we used Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) for
identification of 17 isolates of Leishmania from the skin and reticuloendothelial
system of humans, animal reservoirs (rodent and dog) and sandflies in various
parts of Iran in the last decade.
Fifteen species have been confirmed by isoenzyme characterization by the
London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Shiraz University of Medical
Sciences. In this study, strong confirmation has been observed between random
amplified polymorphic DNA with isoenzyme characterization.
