Study of the pathogenic potential of Dientamoeba fragilis in experimentally infected mice

Dientamoebafragilis (D. fragilis) is a protozoan parasite whose pathogenic potential is still disputable. The aim of this study was to illustrate the pathogenicity of D. fragilis infection and to determine the infective dose for experimental mice infection. Three groups of mice (8/each) were orally...
