The London School of Tropical Medical & Hygiene
provide testing kits consisting of four tubes, three with fixative and one plain tube. The fourth is used to culture
Dientamoeba fragilis, Blastocystis hominis, Entamoeba histolytica and many other protozoa.
The lab has an excellent reputation for detection of parastes and will supply testing kits to anywhere in the world at the request of a doctor.
http://www.parasite-referencelab.co.uk/index.html
From the LSTH&M website: The laboratory has in the past five years developed an interest and expertise in the diagnosis of Blastocystis hominis and Dientamoeba fragilis parasites which have an undecided role as pathogens, but which are incriminated in chronic bowel conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
