Abstract
Unique species-specific Eimeria necatrix DNA probes comprising divergent DNA sequences are disclosed. The probes are complementary to a small subunit ribosomal RNA gene of Eimeria necatrix.
Claims2
A DNA probe, the DNA probe selected from the group consisting of 5' AAGTGATACAGTAATCGTGAAGTT 3' (SEQ ID NO:
- 17) and 5' CAAAACCAACCCACTTAACG 3' (SEQ ID NO:
- 38).
A DNA sequence composition, the composition consisting essentially of 5' AACTGATACAGTAATCGTGAAGTT 3' (SEQ ID NO:
- 17), 5' CAAAACCAACCCACTTAACG 3' (SEQ ID NO:
- 38), and mixtures thereof.
