Figure 1. Primer and probe alignments with partial Phum_PHUM540560 gene sequences from body and head lice [35].

Figure 1

A portion of the Phum_PHUM540560 gene sequences from body and head lice were aligned with the primers and probes designed for the multiplex RT-PCR assay. Part of the first exon spanings nucleotides 1 to 64 was analyzed. The forward and reverse primer sequences are boxed in black. The FAM- and VIC-labeled probe sequences are boxed in purple and green, respectively. The nucleotides in blue represent single-nucleotide polymorphisms that are specific to head lice. The nucleotides in black represent single-nucleotide polymorphisms that are specific to body lice. BL: body louse; HL: head louse; NW_002987859.1: Pediculus humanus corporis strain USDA 1103172108290 Phum_PHUM540560 (gene sequence available in GenBank).
