Molecular identification of Opisthorchis viverrini among the northeastern Cambodian population by internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2)- based polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
Abstract:The southeast Asian fluke Opisthorchis viverrini remains endemic, particularly in Thailand, Lao PDR, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Myanmar. However, there is a lack of data on the prevalence of liver fluke infection in Kratie Province in northeastern Cambodia. The present study aimed to detect O. viverrini DNA in fecal specimens using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based on the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region of ribosomal DNA (rDNA). The prevalence and percentage of O. viverrini infection were described … Show more
