I am trying to find a new way for DNA extraction of intestinal Microsporidia spp.
Its simple simple my friend. Take any stool sample, which is PCR-negative for spores. Spike it with different number of spores, extract DNA and do PCR.
you never know - so the empirical approach suggested bt Junaid Iqbal sounds good. Try this assay several times to see the variation range.
your advise is good, I tried that, but the results were not equal.I want to know other researchers experiences in this subject, if they had.
