Table 3 Overview of results from qPCR and ddPCR analyses for Gyrodactylus salaris (ITS), Oncorhynchus mykiss (CytB) and Salmo salar (CytB) at each sampling site. List of sampling sites including amount of water filtered, number of samples per site (each sample constitutes of one filter), the Cq value (from qPCR) and number of eDNA copies per litre (ddPCR) from all filters taken at each point, respectively. eDNA copies per litre are abbreviated as eDNA/l. No detection is indicated with a minus (-) for qPCR and a zero for ddPCR and those samples where analysis was not applicable are indicated with NT

From: Catching the fish with the worm: a case study on eDNA detection of the monogenean parasite Gyrodactylus salaris and two of its hosts, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
