[ 1 ] - Detection of single Dactylogyrus spp. in DNA extracted from infected gill tissue of fishes using Polymerase Chain Reaction

Dactylogyrus spp. are monogenean worms found mostly as ectoparasites on the gills of several fish species, including carp and goldfish. These parasites are commonly detected by microscopic analysis of the gill lamellae, but this is time-consuming and technically difficult. In contrast to this conventional method, molecular techniques provide specific, sensitive and safe detection of parasites. ...
