Abstract excerpt
Two major genotypic assemblages of Giardia intestinalis infect humans; the nested real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for targeting the triose phosphate isomerase (tpi) gene to detect and genotype G. intestinalis in human feces in Egypt. Among 97 fecal samples, 30 (31%) were diagnosed as giardiasis by saline wet mount microscopy after staining with Lugol's iodine. The tpi gene was amplified from 41...
