Background:  Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, also known as the amphibian chytrid fungus, causes the disease chytridiomycosis in amphibians. It infects the keratinized skin of amphibians.

Description:  MycoReal® Kit Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis uses real-time PCR for the detection of the the ITS2 region of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. Our carefully designed primers and probe ensure highest sensitivity and specificity. The kit consists of an assay mix for the detection of the pathogen as well as a positive control and an internal positive control (IPC). To minimize PCR cross-contamination,the reaction mix included contains dUTP and uracil-N glycosylase (UNG).
