Amplicon sequencing allows differential quantification of closely related parasite species: an example from rodent Coccidia (Eimeria)
Abstract Background Quantifying infection intensity is a common goal in parasitological studies. We have previously shown that the amount of parasite DNA in faecal samples can be a biologically meaningful measure of infection intensity, even if it does not agree well with complementary counts of tra...
