Direct characterization of <i>Blastocystis</i> from faeces by PCR and evidence of zoonotic potential
19 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
In vitro propagation followed by PCR, and a PCR-based method capable of the direct detection of Blastocystis in faeces were utilized to detect Blastocystis from various hosts in Australia, including primates and their handlers from the Perth Zoo. In addition, Blastocystis isolates from dogs and humans living in a localized endemic community in Thailand were also characterized genetically. PCR-based detection...
