Remarkable Genetic Polymorphism among Entamoeba histolytica Isolates from a Limited Geographic Area
30 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
In order to understand genetic polymorphisms among Entamoeba histolytica strains in a limited geographic area and among restricted social populations, we studied nucleotide polymorphism in DNA regions that do not encode proteins (locus 1-2 and locus 5-6) and in genes coding for chitinase and for serine-rich E. histolytica protein. Thirty E. histolytica isolates from domestically infected Japanese amebiasis...
