Figure 2.

Mapping of positive PCR punches on FTA cards. The figure shows three diagrammatic representations of the repeated PCR of blood samples from zebu cattle. Each small circle or shape represents a punch taken for PCR analysis. The positions of each punch were recorded and the results for that PCR were related back to the position on the original sample. Key; open circle, negative PCR result; closed circle, T. theileri; closed triangle, T. brucei; closed square, T. congolense. Examples of a low, medium and high parasitaemia result are shown.
