Fig. 7From: Faecal metabarcoding provides improved detection and taxonomic resolution for non-invasive monitoring of gastrointestinal nematode parasites in wild moose populationsParasite load in 29 moose estimated by molecular and parasitological assays of faecal samples. The parasite load of moose was estimated from metabarcoding data as the proportion of nematode to non-target sequences recovered and then compared with parasitological egg and larvae counts (df = 86, t = 2.445, P = 0.026). Results are shown for each of the three different DNA extraction methods testedBack to article page
