Table 2

Primers used for PCR amplification and sequencing; primers used only for sequencing are indicated by an asterisk. 28S = a portion of the large subunit ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene, 18S = a portion of the small subunit rRNA gene, ITS = the internal transcribed spacer region of the rRNA gene. For primer orientation, + = sense, − = antisense.
