Possible pathogenicity of commensal Entamoeba hartmanni revealed by molecular screening of healthy school children in Indonesia

Abstract

The molecular survey of intestinal protozoans targeting healthy population with their stool form evaluation could address the pathogenicity of those parasites appropriately. In comparatively higher-age children at least 7 years of age or greater in the endemic area, <i>G. intestinalis</i> could regard commensal, while <i>E. hartmanni</i> seems to possess a certain pathogenicity as a causal agent of mild diarrhea.
