      <abstract>The data are used to support the development and validation of two quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays to detect the parasite Nanophyetus salmincola DNA in water samples and fish and snail tissues. The data link to a series of experiments that are described in the publications.  Experiment 1 defines the linearity and detection limits of the assays.  Experiment 2 assesses the utility of the assays to detect N. salminicola waterborne cercaria in one liter volumes of water. Experiment 4 assesses the detection of N. salminicola waterborne cercaria in small volumes (50 microliters). Experiments 5 and 6 assesses the within and between run repeatability of the assays. Experiment 7 assesses the diagnostic specificity of the assays in a fish population known to be negative for the parasite.  Experiment 8 assesses the diagnostic specificity of the assays in a fish population known to be positive for the parasite. Experiment 9 assesses the diagnostic accuracy of the assays in fish artificially exposed to the parasite. Experiment 10 assesses the ability of the assay to detect the parasite in the intermediate snail host (Juga spp.). Experiment 11 assesses the ability of the assay to detect the parasite in the one liter volumes of river water collected at sites where the intermediate snail host is either present or absent.</abstract>

        <methdesc>Real time PCR reactions were conducted using the ViiA 7 real-time PCR system (Life Technologies). The standard reaction protocol contained 12 µl of real-time PCR master mix (Taqman Gene Expression master mix; Life Technologies) with 900 nM of each primer and 200 nM of the probe and 5 µl of DNA template. For some tests, an exogenous internal positive control (IPC; Life Technologies; following manufacturer instructions) was included with the N. salmincola primer and probes as a multiplex reaction to test for PCR inhibition. The multiplex reactions were conducted as described above but in a final 24 µl reaction volume. Assay performance was compared using the Taqman Gene Expression Master Mix and the Taqman Environmental Master Mix (both obtained from Life Technologies Inc.). The default protocol was the singleplex (12 µl reaction) protocol lacking the IPC. Taqman Gene Expression master mix was used for detecting Nanophyetus salmincola DNA in snails and fish tissues as well as from isolated cercariae while the Environmental Master Mix was used for detection of cercariae in settled (environmental) water samples. The PCR reactions were subjected to one cycle of 50°C for 2 min, one cycle of 95°C for 10 min, and 40 cycles of 95°C for 15 sec and 60°C for 1 min. Tests were interpreted as positive if sigmodal amplifications curves were generated in &lt; 40 cycles in both technical replicates.</methdesc>
