A sensitive polymerase chain reaction-based assay for the detection of Setaria digitata: The causative organism of cerebrospinal nematodiasis in goats, sheep and horses

Abstract

A sensitive PCR assay for the detection of Setaria digitata has been developed. Two oligonucleotide primers (17 nt) were designed from a previously cloned and characterized tandemly arranged repetitive sequence of Setaria digitata. Using these primers, it was possible to amplify small quantities (100 fg) of S. digitata genomic DNA. A simple procedure, using proteinase K and non-ionic detergent NP 40, was followed to process the host blood samples and mosquitoes harbouring L3 larvae. The sensitivity of the polymerase chain reaction based assay surpasses the microscopic detection and the previously reported oligonucleotide based chemiluminescent detection of microfilariae in infected host blood samples and L3 larvae in mosquitoes.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
