Multiplex PCR for simultaneous identification of the most common European Opisthorchiid and Heterophyid in fish or fish products
Among others, the families Opisthorchiidae and Heterophyidae includes several genera causing fish-borne zoonoses and distributed also in European Countries and that are included in the ParaFishControl (Advanced Tools and Research Strategies for Parasite Control in European farmed fish) H2020 EU proj...
