Frequency and molecular characterisation of Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, Entamoeba moshkovskii, and Entamoeba hartmanni in the context of water scarcity in northeastern Brazil [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2016 This study aimed to estimate the frequency, associated factors, and molecular characterisation of Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, Entamoeba moshkovskii, andEntamoeba hartmanni infections. We performed a survey (n = 213 subjects) to obtain parasitological, sanitation, and sociodemographic data.

Evolutionary genomics of Entamoeba
Research in Microbiology, 2011 Entamoeba histolytica is a human pathogen that causes amoebic dysentery and leads to significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Understanding the genome and evolution of the parasite will help explain how, when and why it causes disease. Here we review current knowledge about the evolutionary genomics of Entamoeba: how differences between the ...

Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar Infection in Children in Bangladesh [PDF]
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1997 The prevalence of infection by the invasive parasite Entamoeba histolytica and the noninvasive parasite Entamoeba dispar was determined in 2000 children in Bangladesh. Antigen detection identified more cases of E. histolytica-E. dispar infection than did culture or microscopy. Microscopic identification of E. histolytica-E.

Molecular Identification and Prevalence of Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar and Entamoeba moshkovskii in Erbil City, Northern Iraq [PDF]
Polish Journal of Microbiology, 2020 Abstract The present study was conducted to evaluate the infection rates of Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, and Entamoeba moshkovskii among asymptomatic individuals in Erbil City, northern Iraq. The research intent was to discover whether pathogenic or nonpathogenic species cause a high rate of symptomless Entamoeba infections ...

Phospholipids of Entamoeba invadens
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1975 The major phosphoglycerides present in Entamoeba invadens are phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylinositol. Furthermore, three different sphingolipids could be isolated from the amoeba. In addition to sphingomyelin and a phosphonolipid, ceramide phosphonylethanolamine, a previously unknown sphingolipid was ...

Casease in Entamoeba histolytica [PDF]
Nature, 1959 CASEASE, the proteolytic, casein-hydrolysing enzyme, has been reported in many bacteria. It has not hitherto been detected in the protozoan, Entamoeba histolytica. In earlier studies, Nakamura1 reported the absence of casease in certain strains of the amœbae.

Entamoeba bangladeshi: An insight
Tropical Parasitology, 2014 Molecular tools have the potential to differentiate microscopically similar gut micro-eukaryotes that may have significantly different relationships with the human host. Using broad range Entamoeba primers to amplify a section of the eukaryotic 18S small subunit ribosomal RNA gene a novel member of the Entamoeba family (Entamoeba bangladeshi) has ...

Erythrophagocytosis inEntamoeba histolyticaandEntamoeba dispar: A Comparative Study [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2014 Entamoeba histolyticais the causative agent of human intestinal and liver amebiasis. The extraordinary phagocytic activity ofE. histolyticatrophozoites has been accepted as one of the virulence mechanisms responsible for their invasive capacity. The recognition of the noninvasiveEntamoeba disparas a different species has raised the question as to ...

The Entamoeba lysine and glutamic acid rich protein (KERP1) virulence factor gene is present in the genomes of Entamoeba nuttalli, Entamoeba dispar and Entamoeba moshkovskii [PDF]
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2020 The lysine and glutamic acid rich protein KERP1 is a cell surface-expressed virulence factor in the human pathogen Entamoeba histolytica. It was originally suggested that the gene was absent from the related, avirulent human commensal Entamoeba dispar, an absence which would be relevant to the differential virulence of these species.
