Data on the differentiation among Leishmania (Viannia) spp., Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum and Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis in Brazilian clinical samples using real-time PCR.

ABSTRACT: This article contains the data regarding Leishmania species identification in human and canine clinical samples from a Brazilian region endemic for Leishmania (Viannia) spp., Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum and Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis, using a previously developed approach involving two qPCR assays (qPCR-ML and qPCR-ama). The data are related to the article "Real-time PCR to differentiate among Leishmania (Viannia) subgenus, Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum and Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis: application on Brazilian clinical samples" [1], and include also details of clinical evaluation/diagnosis of human patients and primer sequences used in the qPCR assays. The Leishmania species has been determined in 27 canine samples and 11 human samples, exploiting HRM analysis of q
