This study will use a specific panel test to check for the presence of these parasites. The test will be performed on stool samples to see how well it can identify the infections.
- Who can participate: Individuals aged 18 to 65 years who have symptoms of gastrointestinal infection or have been exposed to environments where these parasites are common may be eligible to participate.
