Low Sensitivity of Real Time PCRs Targeting Retrotransposon Sequences for the Detection of <i>Schistosoma japonicum</i> Complex DNA in Human Serum

Low Sensitivity of Real Time PCRs Targeting Retrotransposon Sequences for the Detection of <i>Schistosoma japonicum</i> Complex DNA in Human Serum

While hybridization probe-based real-time PCR assays targeting highly repetitive multi-copy genome sequences for the diagnosis of <i>S. mansoni</i> complex or <i>S. haematobium</i> complex from human serum are well established, reports on the evaluation of respective assays f...
