This parasite is responsible for causing visceral leishmaniasis, a serious disease that affects the internal organs of the body. The test is performed by collecting a blood sample from the patient and analyzing it for the presence of specific antibodies that are produced in response to the parasite. The results of the test can help in the diagnosis and monitoring of the disease.
