real-time pcr/dna melting curve-based assay to identify individual strongylid larvae recovered from ovine faecal cultures.	a closed-tube real-time pcr (rt pcr) method was developed to identify individual strongylid nematode larvae recovered from ovine faecal cultures. the method builds on an earlier conventional pcr assay established by our group and similarly targets species-specific sequence motifs in the its-2 region of ribosomal dna. the new procedure combines rt pcr with dna melting curve analyses to identify species-specific amplicons, thus avoiding the need to undertake gel electrophoresis. as with the earlie ...	2015	26526096

new parasitological findings for pre-hispanic camelids.	paleoparasitological examination provides information of parasite-host associations in the past, shedding light on the geographical origin of some parasites, on the possible dispersal routes and on some of the processes that modelled the parasitic communities. the aim of the present study was to examine parasite remains present in camelid coprolites collected from the archaeological site alero destacamento guardaparque, patagonia and to discuss the paleoparasitological findings in a biogeographi ...	2017	28679457
