Evaluation of polymerase chain reaction as an additional tool for the diagnosis of low-intensity Schistosoma mansoni infection

Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as an alternative tool for diagnosing schistosomiasis in individuals with low-level parasite burden from areas of low endemicity or under occasional risk of infection by Schistosoma mansoni . A total of 102 samples...
