For ethical and safety reasons it is critical to develop easily implemented assays with high sensitivity and specificity for gene doping surveillance. Two nested quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) ...

Blackhead, also known as enterohepatitis, is caused by a protozoan parasite called Histomonas meleagridis. Clinical symptoms are nonspecific. Until now, diagnosis has been mainly based on postmortem ...

A nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol was developed for detecting the presence of Schistosoma mansoni sporocysts in intermediate host snails of the genus Biomphalaria. To accomplish this, ...

PCR-Machines are based on Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and produce copies of genes exponentially. The PCR cycling reactions are carried out in an automated thermocycler, which is capable of heating ...
