Table S2. Frequency of DNA detection at different insect densities present in stored wheat flour.

Insect equivalents as adults N(T. castaneum beetle)/(m(wheat flour)/g) Ct value
10 10/5 16.8±.02
1 1/5 22.73±0.23
0.1 1/50 26.95±0.17
0.01 Corresponds to 1/500 27.87±0.32
0.001 Corresponds to 1/5000 28.84±0.08

Each value is represented as mean±S.D. (N=7), Ct=cycle threshold
