New Screening Test for Male Germline Chimeric Chickens by Polymerase Chain Reaction Using Shingle Nucleotide Polymorphism Detection Primers

NEW PRIMERS FOR DETECTION OF Leishmania infantumUSING POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION

Leishmania infantum causes visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the New World. The diagnosis of VL is confirmed by parasitological and serological tests, which are not always sensitive or specific. Our aim was to design new primers to perform a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for detecting L. infantum. Sequences of the minicircle kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) were obtained from GenBank, and the FLC2/RLC2 pr...

Detection of the eaeA Gene in Escherichia coli Isolated from Broiler Chickens by Polymerase Chain Reaction

The aim of this study was to isolate Escherichia coli from chickens and to determine the presence of the eaeA gene, a virulence factor detected in Escherichia coli, in the isolates by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Different chicken organs (lung, liver and spleen) were inoculated onto blood agar and biochemical tests were performed on the suspicious isolates. Escherichiacoliwas isolated from ...

Detection of Babesia ovis Using Polymerase Chain Reaction.

Application of specific primers and polymerase chain reaction for identification of ralstonia solanacearum biovar2

Amplification fragment length polymorphism in Brucella strains by use of polymerase chain reaction with arbitrary primers.

DNA heterogeneity among members of the genus Brucella was demonstrated with the arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR). Simple, reproducible genomic fingerprints from DNA of 25 different Brucella strains were generated with five arbitrarily chosen primers, alone and in pairs, with the PCR. Reaction conditions were optimized for each primer. Several DNA segments were amplified in ...
