Real-Time-PCR Assay for Diagnosis of Entamoeba histolytica Infection
Roy, Shantanu, Kabir, Mamun, Mondal, Dinesh, Ali, Ibne Karim M., Petri, William A., Haque, Rashidul
We developed a real-time-PCR assay utilizing a molecular-beacon probe for the detection of Entamoeba histolytica and compared its sensitivity to stool antigen detection and traditional PCR. A total...
Bhattacharya, Dhruva, Haque, Rashidul, Singh, Upinder
To evaluate genetic variability among Entamoeba histolytica strains, we sequenced 9,077 bp from each of 14 isolates. The polymorphism rates from coding and noncoding regions were significantly...
