Dientamoeba fragilis ( D. fragilis ) is a flagellated protozoan with an amoeba-like morphology, located in the gastrointestinal tract. The hypothesis was that the parasite was transported by Enterobius vermicularis ( E. vermicularis ) eggs. This study aimed to determine the association of D. fragilis and E. vermicularis with the genotypes of the identified strain of D. fragilis . Results of trichrome staining were compared with those of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which is widely used in the diagnosis of D. fragilis .
