Evaluation of coccidia DNA in irrigation pond water and wastewater sludge associated with Cyclospora cayetanensis 18S rRNA gene qPCR detections

ABSTRACT The coccidian parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis is the causative agent for foodborne outbreaks of cyclosporiasis disease and multiple annual fresh produce recalls. The aim of this study was to identify potential cross-reacting species for the C. cayetanensis 18S rRNA and MIT1C gene target re...
