Abstract

The following file contains data about clinical samples of peripheral blood collected from patient from the Metropolitan area of Bologna and standard samples of Leishmania infantum genomic DNA (reference strain JPCM5) tested by three different real-time PCR assays for the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis. Data contained in this dataset are both quantitative and qualitative and are contained in a database (file “ECLIPSE_WP5_T3_real-timePCR-LeishmaniaInfantum-BloodSamples_230925_V2.ods”) arranged into three single sheets: one “Clinical_Samples_Dataset” contains qualitative and quantititative data of the study obtained by the analysis of clinical samples, a second “Calibration_experiments_Dataset” that contains data about molecular diagnostic method calibration and raw analysis data of standard samples of Leishmania infantum genomic DNA and the third, “Dataset_column_description” that cointains explanation about the data contained in the other two sheets “Clinical_Samples_Dataset” and “Calibration_experiments_Dataset”. Specifically, this version of the dataset contains the updated version of the database. Moreover, a zip archive that contains in silico BLAST analysis about primers utilized for sample analysis was also added. The data were generated in the framework of the Horizon Europe project ECLIPSE.
