Short report: Molecular evidence of Trichostrongylus colubriformis and Trichostrongylus axei infections in humans from Thailand and Lao PDR

Human trichostrongylosis has been reported in Thailand. Recent reports in Lao People's Democratic Republic concerning species identification urged us to investigate species distribution in Thailand. We report eight human cases in Thailand and Lao People's Democratic Republic that were foun...

description Human trichostrongylosis has been reported in Thailand.
