A new qPCR method to detect Bonamia exitiosa in oysters from Foveaux Strait comprises a duplex qPCR assay for the co-amplification of the Bonamia target and the Ostrea chilensis β-actin gene, shortened lab procedures, and a block to allow effective co-amplification. This method has greater sensitivity and specificity than heart imprints (performance coefficient of 0.73 when compared to qPCR heart samples and 0.61 for gill samples), and is more cost-effective, but requires further development.
