Assessment of three DNA extraction kits for the absolute quantification of strongyle nematode eggs in faecal samples

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Background Haemonchus contortus is one of the most pathogenic gastrointestinal nematodes of small ruminants. The current diagnostic approach for the detection of this species relies on coproscopic methods, which both have low sensitivity and are time consuming. Methods employing detection through DNA amplification, such as droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR), offer an advantageous approach...
