<h4>Background</h4>The rapid expansion in the availability of genome and DNA sequence information has opened up new possibilities for the development of methods for detecting free-living protozoa in environmental samples. The protozoan Blepharisma japonicum was used to investigate a rapid and simple detection system based on polymerase chain reaction amplification (PCR) from organisms immobilised on FTA paper.<h4>Results</h4>Using primers designed from the alpha-tubulin genes of Blepharisma, spe ...[more]
