“…In particular, several DNA amplification methods have been developed over the last years, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR), loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) (Saull et al , ) and denaturation bubble‐mediated strand exchange amplification method (SEA) (Liu et al , ). Among these, PCR is the most widely used, and a wide variety of diagnostic methods have been raised, such as DNA barcoding, real‐time PCR and multiplex PCR (Hebert et al , ; Hajibabaei et al , ; Rasmussen & Morrissey, ; Herrero et al , ; Pappalardo & Ferrito, ; Cardenosa et al , ; Kim et al , ; Sultana et al , ). Particularly, the most straightforward approach consists in real‐time PCR which can amplify the target DNA with specificity, efficiency and sensitivity.…”
