Comparative Analysis of Microscopic Examination and PCR Targeting the Tams1 Gene for Detection of Theileria annulata Infection
Conventional microscopic examination and polymerase chain reaction targeting the Tams1 (Theileria annulata merozoite surface antigen 1) gene for detection of infection in 210 clinically suspected cattle yielded higher detection of T. annulata by PCR than by microscopy, in agreement with previous studies reporting highe...
