Molecular Testing of Environmental Samples as a Potential Source to Estimate Parasite Infection

Molecular Testing of Environmental Samples as a Potential Source to Estimate Parasite Infection

We discuss the potential usefulness of molecular testing of soil, dust, and water samples to detect medically important parasites, and where such testing could be used to supplement stool sampling in humans. A wide variety of parasites including protozoa and helminths, many of which are zoonotic, ha...
