Читать книгу Practical Guide to Diagnostic Parasitology - Lynne Shore Garcia - Страница 20

As mentioned above, the majority of physician office laboratories are not involved in diagnostic parasitology testing; however, as more molecular biology-based (nonmicroscopic) methods are developed, they may become more widely used in this setting. One example would be the fecal immunoassay rapid-lateral-flow cartridges, specifically designed to detect antigen of Cryptosporidium spp., Giardia lamblia, the Entamoeba histolytica/E. dispar group, or Entamoeba histolytica. Rapid tests for the detection of Plasmodium spp., particularly P. falciparum, are also currently available.
