High-throughput PCR assays to monitor Wolbachia infection in the dengue mosquito (Aedes aegypti) and Drosophila simulans
Applied and Environmental Microbiology 78 (13), 4740-4743
Abstract: We have developed and validated two new fluorescence-based PCR assays to detect the Wolbachia wMel strain in Aedes aegypti and the wRi and wAu strains in Drosophila simulans. The new assays are accurate, informative, and cost-efficient for large-scale Wolbachia screening.
