Environmental DNA (eDNA) methods are providing tools for detecting invasive species in aquatic environments. Targeted qPCR assays applied to eDNA samples promise to overcome limitations of traditional
1Results presented are the average ± standard deviation of four independent experiments. QPCR was performed in triplicate reactions for each experiment. Flow-sorted oocysts spiked in reagent water wer
Twelve (12) putatively seagrass-pathogenic (“P”) and 27 seagrass non-pathogenic (“N”) Labyrinthula spp. isolates of various origins used to test the effectiveness of the qPCR assay. Isolate host/subst
