Development of a qPCR assay for Fasciola spp. identification and a deep amplicon sequencing method for differentiation of fluke species in UK livestock. [PDF]
BackgroundTrematode parasites, or flukes, are a significant economic threat to ruminant production worldwide. Traditional diagnostic methods rely on egg sedimentation from faeces, a time-consuming methodology lacking sensitivity and specificity.
