Commercial Simplex and Multiplex PCR Assays for the Detection of Intestinal Parasites <i>Giardia intestinalis</i>, <i>Entamoeba</i> spp., and <i>Cryptosporidium</i> spp.: Comparative Evaluation of Seven Commercial PCR Kits with Routine In-House Simplex PCR Assays

Nowadays, many commercial kits allowing the detection of digestive parasites by DNA amplification methods have been developed, including simplex PCR assays (SimpPCRa) allowing the identification of a single parasite, and multiplex PCR assays (MultPCRa) allowing the identification of several parasite...
