New species-specific qPCR assay developed to detect Eucoleus aerophilus in Polish dogs

This study introduces the first species-specific real-time PCR assay designed to detect the respiratory nematode Eucoleus aerophilus in dogs. The assay was applied to fecal samples from dogs in Poland, addressing a gap in molecular data for this parasite's prevalence in the country. This development marks the first molecular survey of E. aerophilus in Polish dogs, improving detection beyond traditional morphological methods.
