Detection of Anaplasma marginale and A. phagocytophilum in Bovine Peripheral Blood Samples by Duplex Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase PCR Assay
13 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
Insufficient diagnostic sensitivity and specificity coupled with the potential for cross-reactivity among closely related Anaplasma species has made the accurate determination of infection status problematic. A method for the development of simplex and duplex real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR) assays for the detection of A. marginale and A. phagocytophilum 16S rRNA in plasma-free bovine...
