Internal transcribed spacer region 1 as a promising target for detection of intra-specific polymorphisms for Strongyloides stercoralis

Abstract

This method could be used as an epidemiological tool to study strain differences in larger collections of <i>S. stercoralis</i> isolates. The study forms the basis for further development of an ITS-based assay for <i>S. stercoralis</i> molecular epidemiological studies.
