AbstractThe data of general stool examination of the patients attending the general central public health laboratory in Erbil city were collected during years 1998-2004 to estimate and determine the percentage of infections with parasitic species by direct method. Out of 5768 stool samples, examined 1380 were infected with intestinal parasites 23.9%. Statistically, there were high significant differences between infections and each of studied years and distribution of the parasitic species in relation to the sexes of the patients. Highest infection rate was 42.4% in the year 1998, while the lowest was 5% in 2004, and the males were infected with intestinal parasites more than females which were 60.2% and 39.8% respectively.The following parasites were detected in the present study: Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba coli with infection rates 51.7%, 51.2% and 0.6%, 0.7% in males and females, respectively, and intestinal flagellates, Giardia lamblia and Trichomonas hominis 40.3%, 39.9% and 3.1%, 5.1% in males and females, respectively. Taenia saginata 0.4% in each of males and females and Hymenolepis nana 3.4% in males and 2% in females, Ascaris lumbricoides and Enterobius vermicularis 0.1%, 0.2%, an...

Molecular Identification and Prevalence of Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar and Entamoeba moshkovskii in Erbil City, Northern Iraq

“…For example, in a study that included 500 diarrheal stool samples from infants and children, Entamoeba infections were found in 35% of samples ( Al-Sorchee et al 2013 ). In another study, the infection rate was 51.7%, but this study did not exclude the commensal protozoa Entamoeba coli ( Hamad and Ahmed 2011 ). Unlike the present study, all research that has previously been done in Erbil City was based on samples from symptomatic subjects only, and this may be a reason for the differences in the rate of infections.…”

“…To date, the PCR technique has never been used for assessing the prevalence rate of E. histolytica in Erbil City. Several studies have reported the infections with E. histolytica in almost all Iraqi cities, but only a few applied molecular methods; most relied on microscopic examination ( Hamad and Ahmed 2011 ; Al-Sorchee et al 2013 ; Saqur et al 2017 ). To date, no research has been conducted on asymptomatic individuals in Iraq, the least-studied group globally.…”

Differential Diagnosis of Entamoeba spp. Using the 18SrRNA Gene in Gastroenteritis Patients

“…The two species cannot be separated morphologically. However, they may be identified using a variety of experimental techniques [13,14].…”

“…Infections have been documented in several studies. Nearly all Iraqi cities contain E. histolytica, but only a handful have used molecular techniques; the majority rely on microscopic investigation [13]. The least-studied category internationally, asymptomatic people have not yet been the subject of any research in Iraq.…”
