Abstract excerpt
Extremely limited knowledge exists on the occurrence of protozoan pathogens in surface and waste water in the developing world. The article addresses one of the major reasons for this: prohibitively costly immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and commercial DNA extraction kits are required for the pathogen detection. As the presence of inhibitory substances critically impedes the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based...
