Clinics in Colon and Rectal Surgery, 2007 Amebiasis is an important cause of death from parasitic disease worldwide. The causative organism is Entamoeba histolytica, which has an infective cyst stage and a pathogenic and motile trophozoite stage. The clinical presentation can vary from an asymptomatic carrier state to fulminant colitis and colonic perforation.

Gut microbiome communication with bone marrow regulates susceptibility to amebiasis
bioRxiv, 2018 The gut microbiome may provide resistance to infection. However, the mechanisms for this are poorly understood. We found that the intestinal bacterium Clostridium scindens provided immunity to the parasite Entamoeba histolytica. Adoptive transfer of bone-

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2019 We report a case of Entamoeba histolytica infection in a young man who presented with cerebral infarction and shortly after admission developed bloody diarrhea with fever. A rapid diagnosis of severe E. histolytica colitis was established through the use

Diversity and Plasticity of Virulent Characteristics of Entamoeba histolytica
Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2023 The complexity of clinical syndromes of amebiasis, caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica, stems from the intricate interplay between the host immune system, the virulence of the invading parasite, and the surrounding environment. Although there is

Immune Response of Amebiasis and Immune Evasion by Entamoeba histolytica
Frontiers in Immunology, 2016 Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite and the causative agent of amebiasis. It is estimated approximately 1% of humans are infected with E. histolytica, resulting in an estimate of 100,000 deaths annually.

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Piscirickettsia salmonis , the causal agent of salmonid rickettsial septicemia (SRS), is the main pathogen affecting farmed salmonids in Chile. Outbreaks of SRS lead to substantial economic losses for producers. Many determinants related to SRS outcomes are still poorly understood.
