FIG. 1.

Schematic representation of the primer sites used for PCR amplification and as a capture probe with respect to the rRNA gene unit of T. foetus. The positions of the boundaries between rRNA genes and internal transcribed spacer regions (numbers below the line) and the 3′ ends of primers TFR3, TFR4, and TFR8-Bio (numbers above line) are indicated in reference to T. foetus UT-1 (GenBank M81842) (4). The figure is drawn approximately to scale.
