Abstract

Using quantitative PCR (qPCR), we differentiated asymptomatic and symptomatic Indian Leishmania donovani infection. qPCR on blood of 40 visceral leishmaniasis, 130 endemic, and 40 non-endemic healthy controls showed 500 times less (P < .0001) parasitemia in asymptomatic compared to the symptomatic ones and threshold of 5 parasite genome/mL for the clinical disease.
