A national necropsy survey of red foxes was carried out across Great Britain to record Echinococcus, Trichinella and Toxoplasma. The survey did not record directly, or indirectly using coproantigen/PCR tests, evidence for the presence of Echinococcus...

A rapid and simple method of detection of Blepharisma japonicum using PCR and immobilisation on FTA paper. (2003)
Journal Article

Background The rapid expansion in the availability of genome and DNA sequence information has opened up new possibilities for the development of methods for detecting free-living protozoa in environmental samples. The protozoan Blepharisma japonicum... Read More about A rapid and simple method of detection of Blepharisma japonicum using PCR and immobilisation on FTA paper..

Trypanosoma brucei : trypanosome strain typing using PCR analysis of mobile genetic elements (MGE-PCR) (2003)
Journal Article
Tilley, A., Welburn, S., Fevre, E., Feil, E., & Hide, G. (2003). Trypanosoma brucei : trypanosome strain typing using PCR analysis of mobile genetic elements (MGE-PCR). Experimental Parasitology, 104(1-2), 26-32. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0014-4894%2803%2900114-0

We describe the development of a single-primer amplification system, which uses the trypanosomal mobile genetic element RIME as a molecular marker for the differentiation of Trypanosoma brucei stocks. Using a well-characterised set of T. brucei stock... Read More about Trypanosoma brucei : trypanosome strain typing using PCR analysis of mobile genetic elements (MGE-PCR).

The molecular epidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii with specific reference to transmissions in sheep (2003)
Thesis
Duncanson, P. The molecular epidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii with specific reference to transmissions in sheep. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Much research has been conducted on the life cycle of T. gondii by means of investigation of experimentally infected animals. However, much less has been achieved in studies of naturally infected populations. In particular, controversy surrounds t...
