2005-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Only one in ten Entamoeba histolytica infections is invasive but they are responsible for an annual death toll of up to 100,000 people. A key question in amoebiasis is, therefore, what is responsible for the variable outcome of infection. To investigate whether it is linked to the genotype of the infecting strain, we developed 6 pairs of species-specific primers for genotyping after investigating 46 potentially po...
