Modelling international travel as risk of acquiring Dientamoeba fragilis: Comparison to Giardia duodenalis data
Dientamoeba fragilis appears to be transmitted both domestically and internationally. Although the overall acquisition risk appears low, for both Dientamoeba fragilis and Giardia duodenalis, the highest RSs are linked to visits to (sub)tropical regions, with subregional differences between the two parasites.
