SYBR Green qPCR Technique for the Detection of in Açaí Pulp.

Chagas disease, which is found widely in Latin America and has a great impact on public health, is caused by the parasite . It is a neglected parasitic disease that urgently requires rapid diagnostic methods. The objective of this study was to develop a SYBR Green real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technique for the direct identification and quantification of from experimentally contaminated açai fruit samples.
