Application of nested PCR for diagnosis of histoplasmosis

Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy, 2013
Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection that, although not endemic in Japan, has seen a rise in the number of Japanese cases since the mid-1980s. Diagnosis of the disease is not straightforward, and the main method of detection, fungal culture (which has biosafety-related issues), is of low sensitivity in general.

Application of nested-PCR technique for the diagnosis of tuberculosis

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2000
A test-system based on amplification of IS 986 fragment (nested-PCR) was developed for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. bovis in different biological samples. We constructed external primers and selected appropriate amplifications parameters (annealing temperatures for states I and II, the number of cycles for each amplification stage,

NESTED-PCR ASSAYS FOR DETECTION OF PHYTOPLASMAS IN STRAWBERRY

Acta Horticulturae, 1997
Flower and fruit virescence and phyllody are known to be associated with the presence of phytoplasmas in symptomatic tissues. During surveys in North and South Italy symptomatic and asymptomatic strawberry samples were examined by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to verify the presence of phytoplasmas using 16S ribosomal DNA primers.

Multiplex nested PCR for Brazilian Alphavirus diagnosis

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2004
A reverse-transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) and a multiplex nested PCR were developed for the rapid detection and identification of 14 Brazilian alphaviruses. Using Alphavirus genus-specific primers in a RT-PCR, we obtained amplified products of 434 bp. Species-specific primers were selected and simultaneously tested in a multiplex nested PCR.

Detection of Theileria orientalis in Iran by semi-nested PCR

Parasitology Research, 2011
In order to identify and differentiate Theileria orientalis in cattle which may be infected with Theileria annulata simultaneously, a semi-nested PCR was performed. Thus, 160 blood samples were collected from apparently healthy native cattle in Golestan province of northern Iran, during 2009 to 2011. The Tbs-S/Tbs-A primer set derived from the 18S rRNA

A novel nested PCR for the diagnosis of calicivirus infections in the cat

Veterinary Microbiology, 2005
A novel nested PCR (nPCR) assay is reported on the diagnosis of the feline calicivirus (FCV) infection. The test was performed on 47 ocular and 40 pharyngeal swabs collected from 47 cats with respiratory syndrome; among the 87 samples examined, 18 ocular and 23 pharyngeal swabs were positive in nPCR.

Diagnosis of Oropouche virus infection by RT‐nested‐PCR

Journal of Medical Virology, 2001
AbstractUsing the RT‐PCR with primers that anneal to the 5′ and the 3′ extremities of the genome segments of bunyaviruses and internal primers that anneal to the S segment of Simbu serogroup viruses in a nested PCR it was possible to amplify the Oropouche virus (ORO) genome from the sera of three patients.

A rapid hemi-nested PCR for HTLV-I detection

Journal of Clinical Virology, 2003
A hemi-nested PCR approach was adopted to detect HTLV-1 infection in clinical samples of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from subjects with positive or indeterminate serological results. Our results showed that the hemi-nested PCR quickly solved the diagnostic query, detecting the presence of proviral HTLV-1 DNA in two of the 252 patients ...
