  1. aPercentage of reads assembled to produce a haplotype that obtained a 100% similarity BLASTN hit to the sequence associated with the accession numbers provided
  2. bThe sequence generated cannot distinguish between Loa loa and Wuchereria bancrofti
  3. cThe sequence generated from this amplicon cannot differentiate between several filarial nematodes. For example, our reference database included a sequence from Dirofilaria repens though it is important to note that the nucleotide sequence is identical to Brugia malayi at the 18S rDNA region captured by UPDx
