  1. NA not applicable, B blood, C heart, S spleen, R kidney, F liver, LN lymph node, P peritoneum
  2. a Numbers between parentheses indicate the number of replicates in PCR–HRM reactions
  3. b The (–) sign indicates that no amplification product was obtained
  4. c The (–) sign indicates that no sequencing reaction was done or the sequence was of poor quality and could not be interpreted
  5. d Species used as references in PCR–HRM reactions
