Hi-PCR® Theileria SYBr PCR Kit

Theileriosis is a disease caused by a species of Theileria a blood-borne parasite that mainly affects cattle and is primarily transmitted by ticks. It is a disease of mammals and birds caused by a protozoal pathogen which resides within the lymphocytes and macrophages. It causes anaemia in cattle and can sometimes be fatal. Cows during calving and young calves (2-3 months) are at most risk from this infection. Cattle are at risk of infection when moved to areas where infected ticks are present.Hi-PCR® Theileria SYBr PCR Kit is designed for detection of specific sequence of 18S rRNA gene giving amplification of 179 bp product of Theileria species in clinical samples.
