Detection of Schistosoma mansoni eggs in feces through their interaction with paramagnetic beads in a magnetic field.
BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of intestinal schistosomiasis in low endemic areas is a problem because often control measures have reduced egg burdens in feces to below the detection limits of classical coproparasitological methods. Evaluation of molecular methods is hindered by the absence of an established...
