An improved test system for PCR-based specific detection of<i>Echinococcus multilocularis</i>eggs
1 Sept 1996
Abstract excerpt
For the sensitive detection of eggs of Echinococcus multilocularis in fox faeces by PCR we have evaluated a method based on the previous concentration of helminth eggs by a combination of sequential sieving of faecal samples and flotation of the eggs in zinc chloride solution. The eggs were microscopically detected in the fractions retained in 40 and 20 microns mesh sieves. DNA of the taeniid eggs retained in the...
