Description

DNA extraction from aphids followed by PCR amplification using specific primers for H. defensa and B. aphidicola, with gel electrophoresis visualization.

Typical Equipment

  • PCR thermal cycler
  • agarose gel electrophoresis
  • EtBr staining

Output Measurements

  • presence/absence of H. defensa
  • presence/absence of B. aphidicola
