Real-time PCR for detection of Strongyloides stercoralis in human stool samples from Côte d’Ivoire: Diagnostic accuracy, inter-laboratory comparison and patterns of hookworm co-infection

[Display omitted] •Strongyloides stercoralis is endemic in rural Côte d’Ivoire (prevalence: 21.9%).•Real-time PCR reveals higher prevalence than stool microscopy (16.8% vs. 10.9%).•The diagnostic agreement of PCR for S. stercoralis in two laboratories is substantial.•S. stercoralis-hookworm co-infec...
