Abstract:The most commonly used approach for Entamoeba species differentiation up to date is the tRNA-linked STR regions of the parasite’s genome. In the present study, a new reliable, fast and easy molecular tool for species differentiation was developed. DNA was isolated from fecal samples collected from infected subjects with either Entamoeba histolytica (EH) or Entamoeba disper (ED) in Saudi Arabia. Two types of primer sets were compared in which the first targeted tRNA-linked STR regions, while the second was desi… Show more
