A real-time PCR tool for the surveillance of zoonotic Onchocerca lupi in dogs, cats and potential vectors.
The ocular onchocercosis is caused by the zoonotic parasite Onchocerca lupi (Spirurida: Onchocercidae). A major hindrance to scientific progress is the absence of a reliable diagnostic test in affected individuals. Microscopic examination of skin snip sediments and the identification of adults embed...
