Abstract

The present study was conducted to investigate the infection of Entamoeba spp by using molecular technique (Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction) of primers and probes for gene 18S rRNA . The results revealed the presence of Entamoeba histolytica in the percentage (74%) of 200 Entamoeba microscopic positive samples. Also three primers were used in this study for detection the gene of virulence factor of Entamoeba histolytica. The Cysteine protease revealed the high percentage(86.6%) of infection then Amebopore gene (80.35%) whereas Gal/lectin gene gave the lowest (7 5%) ,without significant differences at (p<0.05).
