The use of real-time PCR to identify <i>Entamoeba histolytica</i> and <i>E. dispar</i> infections in prisoners and primary-school children in Ethiopia

1 Jan 2004

Abstract excerpt

In Ethiopia, it is generally unknown what proportion of the amoebic infections commonly found, by microscopy, in humans are caused by non-invasive Entamoeba dispar rather than the potentially invasive E. histolytica. Faecal samples were therefore collected from 363 primary-school students and 409 prisoners from various regions of Ethiopia. Each of these samples was checked for Entamoeba infection by the...
