HUMAN MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS CATALOGUE <strong>2011</strong>GASTROENTERITIS INFECTIONSGastroenteritisparasites multiplexRef: Dia-GE/Parasite.I-050Gastroenteritis/Parasite panel I allows the detection of Entamoebahistolytica, Giardia intestinalis and Cryptosporidium parvum.Entamoeba histolytica is an anaerobic parasitic protozoan, partof the genus Entamoeba. Infection can lead to amoebic dysenteryor amoebic liver abscess. Symptoms can include fulminatingdysentery, bloody diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue, abdominal pain,and amoeboma. The amoeba can actually bore into the intestinalwall, causing lesions and intestinal symptoms, and it may reachthe blood stream (1) .Giardia intestinalis is a flagellated protozoan parasite thatcolonises and reproduces in the small intestine, causing giardiasis.The giardia parasite attaches to the epithelium by a ventraladhesive disc, and reproduces via binary fission (2) . Giardiasis doesnot spread via the bloodstream, nor does it spread to other partsof the gastro-intestinal tract, but remains confined to the lumenof the small intestine (3) .Cryptosporidium parvum is one of several species that causecryptosporidiosis, a parasitic disease of the mammalian intestinaltract. Primary symptoms of C. parvum infection are acute, watery,and non-bloody diarrhoea. C. parvum infection is of particularconcern in immunocompromised patients, where diarrhea canreach 10–15L per day. Other symptoms may include anorexia,nausea/vomiting and abdominal pain (4) .VALIDATIONResearched pathogen:Target genes:• Entamoeba histolytica: FAM dye, emission: 520 nm• Giardia intestinalis: yellow dye, emission: 553 nm• Cryptosporidium parvum: texas red dye, emission: 603 nm• 18S rRNA (Entamoeba histolytica)• 8S rRNA (Giardia intestinalis)• seqment A (Cryptosporidium parvum)Number of wells by test: 1 (Entamoeba histolytica / Giardia intestinalis / Cryptosporidium parvum)Samples used:• StoolValidated extraction methods: • Nuclisens easyMAG ® System (Biomerieux)• QIAamp DNA Stool mini kit (Qiagen)• MagNa pure LC system (Roche)• QiaSymphony (Qiagen)Real-time PCR systems: • ABI (7500/7900)• Roche lightCycler (480)• Biorad (ICycler/IQ5/CFX96)• Qiagen RotorGene (6000)• Stratagene (MX3000P/3005P)• Cepheid (SmartCycler II)PCR volumes: 50 µl, 25 µl (depending of the real-time PCR system used)PCR reactions/kit:• 50 (50 µl PCR, final volume)• 100 (25 µl PCR, final volume)In combination with:• Universal inhibition control (DIA-UIC-050):DIA-UIC(Cy5)-050: Cy5 dye, emission: 662 nm• DNA extraction & PCR inhibition control (DIA-EIC/DNA)-050:DIA-EIC/DNA(Cy5)-050: Cy5 dye, emission: 662 nm(1)Ryan KJ, Ray CG (editors) (2004).
