Genotyping of Entamoeba Species in South Africa: Diversity, Stability, and Transmission Patterns within Families

Using a recently described polymerase chain reaction–based DNA typing method for Entamoeba histolytica and E. dispar we investigated the genetic diversity of these species in a geographically restricted region of South Africa. Patterns were stable over time in the same infection, and, with few excep...
