Abstract excerpt
DNA from Onchocerca volvulus from Oaxaca and Chiapas, Mexico were used as templates to amplify members of the O-150 Onchocerca specific repeat sequence family. The resulting PCR amplicons all hybridized with OVS2, an oligonucleotide that has been previously shown to recognize amplicons derived from O. volvulus with 100% sensitivity. However, when PCR products amplified from the O. volvulus specific plasmid...
