Internal transcribed spacer dimorphism and diversity in Dientamoeba fragilis.

The Journal of eukaryotic microbiology - 1 Jan 2000

Windsor Jeffrey J, Macfarlane Lorna, Clark C Graham

Abstract excerpt

The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ribosomal RNA operon is frequently used for detecting sequence variation among closely related species as it is usually homogeneous within strains but evolves more rapidly than ribosomal RNA coding regions. We have studied this region in both genotypes of the human intestinal parasite Dientamoeba fragilis. In contrast to most organisms, we have identified...
