Özet

Aim: The spectrum of clinical intestinal disease due to Entamoeba histolytica infection ranges from an asymptomatic carrier state to fulminant colitis with m array of manifestations. The extent of strain diversity for E. histolytica and the extent to which strains differ in virulence are not clearly known. in this study, we aimed to investigate the genetic diversity of E. histolytica isolates from Turkey.
