Associations between Blastocystis spp., Campylobacter spp., Giardia duodenalis and Dientamoeba fragilis using Bayesian priors to account for diagnostic test accuracy
The assumed variation in detection rates of Campylobacter spp. and G. duodenalis based on the presence of Blastocystis spp. and/or D. fragilis was confirmed. Future epidemiological studies should explore interactions among multiple microorganisms using robust statistical approaches.
