LAMP Protocol for Entomopathogenic Serratia spp. in Insect Frass v1
, 2023 A protocol for the detection of insect-associated Serratia spp. in the frass of live insects, using a LAMP assay targeting the ureD gene of urease-positive species from the Serratia marcescens complex. In order to improve the DNA extraction from folivorous insects a bacterial separation and concentration protocol has been developed prior to the DNA ...
