Needle in a haystack: A droplet digital polymerase chain reaction assay to detect rare helminth parasites infecting natural host populations

2025-01-24

Abstract excerpt

Helminths infect humans, livestock, and wildlife, yet remain understudied despite their significant impact on public health and agriculture. Because many of the most prevalent helminth-borne diseases are zoonotic, the health of diverse host species are closely interconnected. Therefore, understanding helminth transmission among wildlife could improve predictions and management of infection risks across species. A...
