Multiplex PCRs for the specific identification of marsupial and deer species from faecal samples as a basis for non-invasive epidemiological studies of parasites

Abstract Background The specific identification of animals through the analysis of faecal DNA is important in many areas of scientific endeavour, particularly in the field of parasitology. Methods Here, we designed and assessed two multiplex PCR assays using genetic markers in a mitochondrial cytoch...
