Strongyloides stercoralis DNA [Presence] in Stool by NAA with probe detection

S stercoralis DNA Stl Ql NAA+probe

Definition

Strongyloidiasis stercoralis is a parasite that causes chronic infection. It is most common in tropical and subtropical climates, and transmission occurs via direct contact with contaminated soil. Patients who are immunocompromised can develop life-threatening disease. Molecular techniques for detecting S. stercoralis DNA in stool are more efficient than traditional diagnostic methods such as culture.
