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.
