Cloning and characterization of a species-specific repetitive DNA sequence from Onchocerca armillata.
15
TL;DR: Two clones, pOA1 and pOA5, have been isolated from a genomic DNA library prepared from pools of Onchocerca armillata adults in the plasmid vector pUC12 and can be used as specific and sensitive DNA probes for the identification of O. armillATA capable of identifying a single L3 larva.

The molecular epidemiology of parasites
Geoff Hide,Andrew Tait +1 more
TL;DR: The ways in which this new field of molecular epidemiology has contributed to and corroborated existing knowledge of parasite epidemiology are discussed.

DNA-based methods for the identification of insect vectors.
S. M. Hill,Julian M. Crampton +1 more
TL;DR: In this review, the DNA-based techniques developed for the identification of Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes are used to illustrate the power of these methods, although, as the review demonstrates, the technology is directly applicable to many other mosquito or insect vectors.

Genetic variability in a family of satellite DNAs from tilapia (Pisces: Cichlidae).
TL;DR: Digests of genomic DNA from all three genera detected polymorphic, high molecular weight restriction fragments that produced fingerprint-like patterns that varied from one species to another, suggesting a markedly different genomic organization for these polymorphic satellite DNAs.

Molecular and immunodiagnosis of human filarial nematode infections.
TL;DR: The development of ELISAs employing recombinant antigen for detection of antibody to O. volvulus which have both high sensitivity and specificity, the commercial availability of immunoassays to measure circulating antigen in W. bancrofti infection and the generation of specific DNA-based detection systems for all three parasites are reviewed.

DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors
TL;DR: A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.
A rapid alkaline extraction procedure for screening recombinant plasmid DNA
H C Birnboim,J Doly +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for extracting plasmid DNA from bacterial cells is described, which is simple enough to permit the analysis by gel electrophoresis of 100 or more clones per day, yet yields DNA which is pure enough to be digestible by restriction enzymes.

Determination of nucleic acid sequence homologies and relative concentrations by a dot hybridization procedure
TL;DR: A dot hybridization method is presented for rapidly determining the relative concentrations of nucleic acids in a mixture, as well as the extent of sequence homology between related RNA or DNA species.

Studies on factors influencing the transmission of onchocerciasis. IV. The biting-cycles, infective biting density and transmission potential of 'forest' Simulium damnosum.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the factors influencing the transmission of onchocerciasis and found that the transmission rate of the disease is positively associated with the number of infected individuals.
