T. ovis (A) and T. lestoquardi (B) 18s rRNA standard curves. Standard curves generated from eight points of tenfold serial dilutions of T. lestoquardi and T. ovis 18s rRNA purified pooled PCR products (amplified from pure T. lestoquardi culture and a natural infection with only T. ovis genomic DNA), with detection range of 9.26 × 107–9.26 18s rRNA copies/ μl DNA) and 5.3 × 107–5.3 18s rRNA copies/μl blood for T. lestoquardi and T. ovis 18s rRNA, respectively. Y axis represents the qPCR cycle threshold (CT). X axis represent log10 18s rRNA copy number.
