Detection of campyloabacter jejuni and campylobacter coli in high risk foods and environmental waters using the polymerase chain reaction
Nucleic acid amplification methods (PCR) were investigated for the detection of Campylobacter species in foods and environmental waters. A novel species-specific PCR was adapted into a high-throughput, colorimetric end-stage detection format (PCR ELISA). The sensitivity of detection of the PCR …

Phaeomoniella chlamydospora: potential inoculum sources in the grapevine propagation process
… this was overcome by the use of an isolate-specific genetic marker. Black streaking in vines, a symptom commonly used as a method of disease assessment, was shown to be prone to false positives, as the fungus was not isolated from 65% of positive samples. Infected rootstock mother-vines were …

Biodiversity of phytoparasitic nematodes associated with Musaceae and fruit crops in Colombia
… on two composition components of biodiversity (species and genes) as a contribution to the analyses of biodiversity of economically important plant-parasitic nematodes in Colombia. Samples were taken from 16 different regions of the country. Identification, characterization, and description of …

Molekulare Methoden zum Nachweis des oral-probiotischen Stammes Streptococcus salivarius ssp. salivarius K12 und Anwendung in vitro und in vivo
… or the environment with a highly sensitive and specific method. For this reason, first of all a species specific PCR on basis of the gene, encoding for dextranase, was tested in this study. 72 percent of the tested S. salivarius strains were detected. Furthermore, a strain specific method for …

Aspects of the biology of Mya arenaria and Ensis spp. (Mollusca; Bivalvia) in the Irish Sea and adjacent areas
… five coastal areas around Ireland and Wales and species-specific PCR primers were used to amplify the internal transcribed spacer region 1 (ITS1) and the mitochondrial DNA CO1 gene and all but 15 razor clams were identified as Ensis siliqua. Future investigations should focus on continued …

Molecular epidemiology of trypanosomiasis in Ugandan cattle during the Stamping Out Sleeping Sickness control programme, 2006 – 2008
… on the point prevalence of several different species of trypanosome in a newly endemic area of human sleeping sickness. Crucially the findings illustrate mass drug treatment is effective in reducing the prevalence of T. b. rhodesiense in cattle, thus minimising the reservoir potential of these …

Detecting a Probiotic Product Within the Gut of Broiler Chickens
… from the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and ceca. Species-specific and strain specific PCR primers were employed for probiotic detection. Wild strains of <em>P. acidilactici</em>, <em>P. pentosaceus</em>, and <em>L. plantarum</em> were detected in the feeds, inhibiting detection of the probiotic …

Breeding for resistance to clover rot (Sclerotinia spp.) in red clover breeding (Trifolium pratense)
… diversity in more detail. Two Sclerotinia species were present on red clover: S. trifoliorum was found in most locations while S. sclerotiorum was found in locations Fr.A and Fr.B. Genetic differences were found among isolates between and within locations, but there were no subpopulations …
