Subject: [Leish-l] PCR and Leish detection in sand flies

Dear Leish-L

Does anyone can help explain what happened to our PCR run to test some sand
flies for Leish.

We tested 3 pools of SF collected from endemic CL foci in Libya. Details
were as follow:

1- DNA extraction using Qiagen DNA mini Kit
2- Amplification using Leishmania GENUS primer/probe set
3- Ct for 3 pools were: A) P. papatasi (Ct: 36.0621)
                        B) P. papatasi (Ct: 36.046)
                        C) P. longicuspis (Ct: 35.7944)

4- Amplification using Internal Transcribed spacer 1 primers according to
Schonian 2003 (L5.8S and LITS.R) showed faint bands.
5- Reamplified ITS1 region using the same primers and PCR conditions, and by
running the samples on 3% Agarose gel, is gave a smeary band that stuck in
the well, didn't run like the controls.
6- Step 4 & 5 were repeated but the same outcome appeared.
7- Using Leishmania major specific primer/probe sets, samples were NEGATIVE
for L. major, controls were excellent.
8- Tried Nested ITS1 according to Schonian 2003, using the same primers and
PCR conditions.
9- Same smeary gel appeared again and we don't know why. Please advise

Thank you

Regards
Hanafi
