Species-specific PCR assay for the detection of Babesia odocoilei. [PDF]
J Vet Diagn Invest, 2021 We developed a PCR assay for the detection of Babesia odocoilei based on the 18S rRNA gene. Multiple specimens of B. odocoilei were examined, and the assay consistently produced a small specific PCR product of 306 bp.
