Abstract excerpt
AIMS: This study describes an approach for genotyping Giardia cysts obtained from wastewater treatment plants (WTPs) in Spain using real-time PCR (qPCR) in combination with immunomagnetic beads. METHODS AND RESULTS: A 50-cycle amplification of a 74-bp fragment of the Giardia beta-giardin gene was adopted from a previous qPCR method. Additionally, two locked nucleic acid (LNA) probes were designed (LNA P434 P1 for...
