This article contains the data regarding Leishmania species identification in human and canine clinical samples from a Brazilian region endemic for (Viannia) spp., (Leishmania) infantum amazonensis, using previously developed approach involving two qPCR assays (qPCR-ML qPCR-ama). The are related to "Real-time PCR differentiate among subgenus, amazonensis: application on samples" [1], include also details of evaluation/diagnosis patients primer sequences used assays. has been determined 27 11 samples, exploiting HRM analysis qPCR-ML Cq values qPCR-ama, as reported [2]. were agreement with characterization obtained other methods such conventional species-specific PCR, ITS1 PCR-RFLP or DNA sequencing. Despite limited number these encouraging potential regions where L. (L.) amazonensis co-endemic.
