Comparison of the performance of three PCR assays for the detection and differentiation of Theileria orientalis genotypes

Abstract Background Oriental theileriosis is a tick-borne disease of bovines caused by the members of the Theileria orientalis complex. Recently, we developed a multiplexed tandem (MT) PCR to detect, differentiate and quantitate four genotypes (i.e., buffeli, chitose, ikeda and type 5) of T. orienta...
