Newly defined conditions for the <i>in vitro</i> cultivation and cryopreservation of <i>Dientamoeba fragilis</i> : new techniques set to fast track molecular studies on this organism

Abstract excerpt

Dientamoeba fragilis is a pathogen of the human gastrointestinal tract that is a common cause of diarrhoea. A paucity of knowledge on the in vitro cultivation and cryopreservation of Dientamoeba has meant that few studies have been conducted to investigate its biology. The objective of this study was to define, for the first time, in vitro culture conditions able to support the long-term in vitro growth of...
