A restriction site to differentiate<i>Plasmodium</i>and<i>Haemoproteus</i>infections in birds: on the inefficiency of general primers for detection of mixed infections
6 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
Avian Plasmodium and Haemoproteus parasites are easily detected by DNA analyses of infected samples but only correctly assigned to each genus by sequencing and use of a phylogenetic approach. Here, we present a restriction site to differentiate between both parasite genera avoiding the use of those analyses. Alignments of 820 sequences currently listed in GenBank encoding a particular cytochrome B region of avian...
