The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of MinION™ nanopore sequencing and polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism in identifying Leishmania species.  Our results showed that the MinION™ sequencer was able to discriminate reference strains and clinical samples with high sensitivity in a cost and time effective manner without the prior need for culture.
