A comparative evaluation of PCR- based methods for species- specific determination of African animal trypanosomes in Ugandan cattle

1 Nov 2013

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In recent years, PCR has been become widely applied for the detection of trypanosomes overcoming many of the constraints of parasitological and serological techniques, being highly sensitive and specific for trypanosome detection. Individual species-specific multi-copy trypanosome DNA sequences can be targeted to identify parasites. Highly conserved ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes are also useful for...
