Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Amebiasis is known to be caused by the protozoan parasite

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The highly polymorphic region of the gene encoding the enzyme chitinase was targeted for the strain variation analysis in

RESULTS: A total of 23 samples in the stool and 1 sample from liver abscess pus were positive for

CONCLUSION: This study shows that high degree of genetic variation exists among the clinical isolates of

Keywords: Chitinase; Entamoeba dispar; heptapeptide repeats; polymorphism
