The genome of Entamoeba histolytica

International Journal for Parasitology, 2000
Estimation of genome size of Entamoeba histolytica by different methods has failed to give comparable values due to the inherent complexities of the organism, such as the uncertain level of ploidy, presence of multinucleated cells and a poorly demarcated cell division cycle. The genome of E. histolytica has a low G+C content (22.4%), and is composed of

Amoebiasis and the entamoeba histolytica

Infection, 1973
Amoebic infection of man is one of the most frequently occurring parasitic diseases in the tropics and is nearly exclusively acquired in the tropical and subtropical zones of the earth. Recently, however, amoebiasis is found to occur increasingly in Europe and physicians should therefore become acquainted with the disease.

Chemotaxis by Entamoeba histolytica1

The Journal of Protozoology, 1985
ABSTRACTA micropore membrane procedure to assay taxis by Entamoeba histolytica is described and the results of studies of responses to a variety of soluble substances, bacteria, an rat colon washings using this procedure are reported. Trophozoites migrated in blind well chambers through 8‐m̈m pore size polycarbonate membranes but not nitrocellulose ...

Pathogenicity of entamoeba histolytica

Infection, 1975
The pathogenicity of Entamoeba histolytica is discussed from an immunologic point of view. The evidence that there is some "trigger" mechanism which converts a commensal dwelling organism into a tissue invasive pathogen is rejected as inadequate. The number of liver abscess cases in comparison with the number of intestinal amebic infections in a ...

Ribonuclease of Entamoeba invadens

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1981
Two bands of RNAase activity were observed on gel electrophoresis of fractions obtained during partial purification of the RNAase of Entamoeba invadens. The faster migrating band which was responsible for most of the RNAase activity was isolated by gel electrophoresis.

Entamoeba histolytica: an update

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2003
Over the past decade, since it was formally recognized that Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar were two distinct species, studies in this field have made dramatic in-roads into the understanding of E. histolytica and the pathogenesis of invasive amoebiasis. Over the same period it has also become clear that the true incidence of E.

Encystation of entamoeba parasites

BioEssays, 1997
AbstractEntamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite of humans, and the causitive agent of intestinal amebiasis. The disease‐causing stage of the parasite is an osmotically sensitive ameboid form, which differentiates into a thick‐walled cyst for transmission from person to person.

The intranuclear bodies of Entamoeba

International Journal for Parasitology, 1973
Abstract Intranuclear bodies which are spherical in shape are clearly seen by ‘Anoptral’ (negative) phase microscopy in the nucleus of Entamoeba. These bodies vary in size and numbers from cell to cell. With interference microscopy the intranuclear bodies appear as spherical granules in the nucleus of the cell.
