Abstract
An assay for the determination of the presence or absence of E. histolytica and for differentiation of these from other types of amoebae, as well as for the determination of whether the E. histolytica belongs to a symptomatic or asymptomatic strain, is carried out by means of a DNA-probe adapted to selectively hybridize only to the DNA of the amoeba tested. The probes being used selectively hybridize with, and thus diagnose the presence of, symptomatic (pathogenic) and asymptomatic (non-pathogenic) strains, respectively.
