The PCR assay developed here differentiates Leishmania infantum and Crithidia sp. LVH60A parasites with the ability to detect and estimate parasite load in samples from different hosts involved in infection (human, animal, and experimental) and can be used for epidemiological studies, parasite load monitoring, and therapeutic follow-up. Samples analysed in this study included human bone marrow and peripheral blood, as well as for the spleen and liver samples of dogs and hamsters
