Multiplex PCR for Differential Identification of Broad Tapeworms (Cestoda:Diphyllobothrium) Infecting Humans
1 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
The specific identification of broad tapeworms (genus Diphyllobothrium) infecting humans is very difficult to perform by morphological observation. Molecular analysis by PCR and sequencing represents the only reliable tool to date to identify these parasites to the species level. Due to the recent spread of human diphyllobothriosis in several countries, a correct diagnosis has become crucial to better understand...
