Field study on the distribution of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar in the northern Philippines as detected by the polymerase chain reaction.

1 Dec 1998

Abstract excerpt

We used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to study the distribution of Entamoeba histolytica and E. dispar in 1,872 individuals in 14 communities in the northern Philippines. Here we report a field study using a DNA extraction protocol from formalin-fixed stool specimens as previously reported. This assay detected 137 stools (7.318%) containing E. dispar and 18 stools (0.961%) containing E. histolytica. The...
