T. cruzi OligoC-TesT: a simplified and standardized polymerase chain reaction format for diagnosis of Chagas disease.
BACKGROUND: PCR has evolved into one of the most promising tools for T. cruzi detection in the diagnosis and control of Chagas disease. However, general use of the technique is hampered by its complexity and the lack of standardization. METHODOLOGY: We here present the development and phase I evalua...
