Figure 2

Electrophoretic analysis of ITS PCR products. Representative agarose gel results showing the different sizes of the ITS1 region for the different trypanosome species (T. brucei -480 bp, T. vivax -250 bp, and T. congolense -700 bp) amplified using nonnested primers. Trypanozoon that gives an expected band size of 480 bp was not detected. Lane M: 100 bp DNA marker; Lane N: negative control (sterile water with no template added); Lane P: positive control (T. b. b GVR-35); Lanes 1-14: test samples.
