specificity of the duplex quantitative PCR. The mean threshold cycle
(Cq), parasite load (Starting Quantity (SQ), value expressed as ng/µl of
DNA for reaction) and the mean, minimum, maximum and standard deviation
(SD) of values of the threshold cycle (Cq) are reported forLeishmania infantum and Leishmania tarentolae assessed by
