A pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica-like variant (JSK2004 strain) with genetic variations and a novel isoenzyme pattern isolated from a De Brazza's guenon in a Tokyo zoo in Japan has previously been documented. In this study, a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay that could distinguish the JSK2004-type E. histolytica-like variant (JSK04-Eh-V) from E. histolytica and Entamoeba dispar using three newly...
