Article Synopsis
- A new molecular tool uses multiplex PCR to quickly and accurately differentiate between three species of freshwater snails (Galba) that transmit fasciolosis, an infectious disease affecting humans and animals.*
-
- The method works by targeting unique microsatellite loci for each species, allowing them to be identified based on the size of DNA fragments produced in a single reaction, even when all three species are present.*
-
- This affordable and efficient technique has been validated against other species identification methods and can be scaled for large samples, aiding in monitoring snail populations and controlling fasciolosis transmission.*
