Abstract

A molecular study was conducted for the period from December 2019 to May 2020, which includedexamining (50) positive stool samples by using the direct smear method. that was revealed by the method ofpolymerase chain reaction (PCR) using the gene (18SrRNA), with a percentage of 82%, distributed 87.8%for males and 70.6% for females. Then for determine the virulence factors ( Cysteine proteinase-1) and(Amoebapores-C) by using primers, with (PCR)technique , and then electrophoresis on the agarose gel havebeen done , the results were positive for Cysteine proteinase-1 (APC-1) at a wavelength (212 bp) and theAmoebapore-C (Amo-C) at a wavelength (536 bp). Five random positive samples of the PCR product in thecurrent study were sent to Macrogen in South Korea for the purpose of determining the DNA sequence ofthe amoebapore- C gene present in the Entamoeba histolytica, and it is the first study in Iraq and Babylonprovince that is genetically determined by the NCBI These genotypes of the amoebic holes gene are recordedin the gene bank.
