Entamoeba histolytica/Entamoeba dispar infection in chronic hemodialysis patients.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia, 2011
To determine the prevalence of Entamoeba histolytica/E. dispar (Eh/Ed) in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients, we collected 330 samples of feces from 110 patients, and nine individuals were found to be positive for Eh/Ed. We compared the infected patients with a group of 14 uninfected HD patients.

An improved method to distinguish Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar

Parasitology, 1999
A 482 base pair gene fragment from samples of amoebae E. histolytica and E. dispar was amplified by PCR. The amplification products of fragments from the 2 species of amoebae presented differences in mobility in non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel, probably due to sequence-dependent conformational alterations in the DNA fragments. The method described

Usefulness of Multiplex-PCR for Identification of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar

Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 2002
We evaluated the usefulness of a multiplex-PCR method for differentiation of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar, which are morphologically indistinguishable species. Cultured trophozoites of E. histolytica HM-1: IMSS and E. dispar SAW were used as the positive control. Seven human fecal samples, from which E.

Multi-parallel qPCR provides increased sensitivity and diagnostic breadth for gastrointestinal parasites of humans: field-based inferences on the impact of mass deworming [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Although chronic morbidity in humans from soil transmitted helminth (STH) infections can be reduced by anthelmintic treatment, inconsistent diagnostic tools make it difficult to reliably measure the impact of deworming programs and often miss
