Parasitic Gastroenteritis (1 Challenge) EQA/PT Scheme

Parasites are a frequent cause of gastroenteritis and are a growing risk in this age of global travel. The panel members of this EQA will resemble clinical samples and may include current clinically relevant strains of Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Dientamoeba, Blastocystis and Entamoeba. The aim of the Parasitic Gastroenteritis EQA is to assess laboratories’ ability to detect a range of parasitic pathogens known to cause gastroenteritis using their routine molecular diagnostic platform and procedures.
