Genotype Distribution of Enterobius vermicularis Isolates from Northwest Provinces of Iran.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Human infection with Enterobius vermicularis occurs worldwide. The most common clinical manifestation of a pinworm infection is an itchy anal region. This parasite is incidentally found in appendicitis. This study aims to characterize and genotype this parasite from different samples inferred by mt-DNA.

Methods

Forty appendectomies for acute clinical appendicitis, 40 positive scotch-tape samples, and 10 adult females worm isolated from patients. Genetic differentiation, haplotype differences, and isolates population structure were analyzed based on the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox1) gene.

Results

It has been demonstrated that all isolations in the appendectomies specimens are similar, and the genetic difference divergence is seen in adu
