Evaluation of fecal load of Blastocystis sp. in human and NHP samples based on the established quantification curve (set in the range of 100 to 105 per qPCR reaction).
Fecal protist loada | No. of positive samples / No. samples examined | Ct value range |
---|---|---|
101–102 | 22/179 | 29–32 |
103–104 | 68/179 | 21–28 |
105–106 | 8/179 | 16–20 |
