PCR-based detection and identification of the filarial parasite <I>Brugia timori</I> from Alor Island, Indonesia
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
Brugia timori is widely distributed on Alor Island, Indonesia, where it causes a high degree of morbidity. The HhaI tandem repeat of B. timori was found to be identical to that of B. malayi, for which sensitive PCR-based assays have already been developed. Using one of these assays, a single microfilaria (mf) of B. timori, present in a spot of dry blood on filter paper, could be detected. The assay was equally...
