Table 1 Genus and species-specific primers, thermocyclic conditions and amplicon size of the various genes used for the detection and amplification of cattle blood pathogens. Thermocyclic conditions include initial denaturing (ID), denaturing (D), annealing (A), extension (E), and final extension (FE)

From: Molecular detection of Theileria species, Anaplasma species, Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos, Trypanosoma evansi and first evidence of Theileria sinensis-associated bovine anaemia in crossbred Kedah-Kelantan x Brahman cattle
