Copro-diagnosis of Haplorchis taichui infection using sedimentation and PCR-based methods

Copro-diagnosis of Haplorchis taichui infection using sedimentation and PCR-based methods

Fifty-one human fecal specimens were collected from villagers inhabiting along Mae Kuang River, Ban Sob Tha, Pa Sang District, Lamphun Province, Thailand. By the formalin-ether sedimentation technique (FEST) under a light microscope, eggs of 3 helminth species, Haplorchis taichui, Ascaris lumbricoid...
