The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Personality and parasites: sex-dependent associations between avian malaria infection and multiple behavioural traits (2011, methodology): “were detected using primers HaemFL and HaemR2L nested within primers HaemNFI and HaemNR3 (Hellgren et al. 2004).”
Community relationships of avian malaria parasites in southern missouri (2005, methodology): “Use of multiple primer pairs and nested PCR would increase the rate of detecting infections and the identification of lineages (Perkins and Schall 2002, Fallon et al. 2003b, Hellgren et al. 2004).”
Genetic diversity of avian blood parasites in SE Europe: Cytochrome b lineages of the genera Plasmodium and Haemoproteus (Haemosporida) from Bulgaria (2010, background): “During the last ten years, the amplification of a specific part of the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b) gene (Bensch et al. 2000, Perkins and Schall 2002, Hellgren et al. 2004, Waldenstrom et al. 2004) has provided new opportunities in the studies of specificity, diversity, distribution, ecology”
MalAvi: a public database of malaria parasites and related haemosporidians in avian hosts based on mitochondrial cytochrome b lineages (2009, methodology): “This protocol together with slightly modified protocols (Hellgren et al. 2004; Waldenström et al. 2004) is still among the most widely used protocols.”
