Fig 1. A modified conventional diagnostic PCR assay.
A modification of assay described by Umeyama et al. (2006) allowed generation of smaller amplicons and better electrophoretic separation while maintaining test accuracy. First and last lane 100-bp DNA ladder; lane 1 non-template control (NTC), lanes 2, 4, 6, and 8 C. posadasii; lanes 3, 5, and 7 C. immitis.
