Method synopsis

DNA extraction from aphids followed by PCR amplification using specific primers for H. defensa and B. aphidicola, with gel electrophoresis visualization.

Synthesized from method descriptions across 2 papers using this protocol.

Typical Equipment

• PCR thermal cycler
• agarose gel electrophoresis
• EtBr staining

Output Measurements
