Abstract:
Field-ready qPCR assays with extended shelf-life support monitoring programs for emerging aquatic pathogens and enable quick conservation and management decisions. Here, we developed, validated, and tested the shelf-life of qPCR assays targeting Gyrodactylus salaris and Aphanomyces astaci with lyophilization and air-drying.
