Coamplification of Leucocytozoon by PCR diagnostic tests for avian malaria: a cautionary note.

A number of PCR assays have now been described for detecting species of the avian malaria parasites Plasmodium and Haemoproteus from blood samples. The published protocols amplify both genera simultaneously, owing to the high degree of sequence similarity between them in target genes. However, the p...
