Development of a real-time polymerase chain reaction assay for sensitive detection and quantitation of Babesia microti infection.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Interventions intended to motivate donors to return can be costly and time consuming. The current study examined the effect of a Web-based automated interview, informed by motivational interviewing and self-determination theory, on donor intention, motivation, and behavior in a sample of highly experienced d...
