DNA-based quantification and counting of transmission stages provides different but complementary parasite load estimates: an example from rodent coccidia (Eimeria)
BackgroundCounting parasite transmission stages in faeces is the classical measurement to quantify “parasite load”. DNA-based quantifications of...
