Kinetoplast minicircle DNA from Leishmania (Viannia) lainsoni
Parasitology, 1999 To investigate the phenomenon that PCR of Leishmania (V.) lainsoni minicircles using primers B1 and B2 gives anomalous small-sized products, unlike all other members of the Leishmania Viannia subgenus, cloned kDNA minicircles from L. (Viannia) lainsoni were sequenced using fluorescent dye terminator reactions. The sequence of L.
