Detection of<i>Clonorchis sinensis</i>in stool samples using real-time PCR
15 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
Human clonorchiasis, caused by infection with the trematode Clonorchis sinensis, is a common health problem in East Asia. In an attempt to develop a new, sensitive method for the diagnosis of the disease, the use of a real-time PCR (targeting the internal-transcribed-spacer-2 sequence of the parasite) to detect C. sinensis-specific DNA in faecal samples has recently been evaluated. The PCR-based assay, which...
