Abstract excerpt
This study has identified and characterized the structure of locus D-A, a noncoding short tandem repeat (STR) region, also known as locus 1-2, in Iranian Entamoeba dispar isolates. This polymorphic locus has been shown to be potentially useful in investigating the molecular epidemiology of Entamoeba histolytica and E. dispar. The genetic polymorphisms in locus D-A in 28 isolates of E. dispar from three different...
