Antiamoebic Properties of the Actinomycete Metabolites Echinomycin A and Tirandamycin A [PDF]
Entamoeba histolytica infects 50 million people per year, causing 100,000 deaths worldwide. The primary treatment for amoebiasis is metronidazole. However, increased pathogen resistance combined with the drug’s toxic side effects encourages a search for ...

Stewardship of Molecular Diagnostics in Transplant Viral Infections
ABSTRACT The transplant environment requires special considerations when testing for viral infections as immunosuppression results in atypical infection profiles. Microbes otherwise considered commensals or causing mild disease can lead to severe infections in transplant environments. Therefore, guidelines tend to recommend broader microbial testing in

Direct amplification and differentiation of pathogenic and nonpathogenic Entamoeba histolytica DNA from stool specimens [PDF]
Discrimination of pathogenic and nonpathogenic Entamoeba histolytica is of great clinical importance. A simple and rapid DNA extraction method that can be used directly with stool specimens was developed without the need for prior cultivation of the ...

This meta‐analysis of 25 studies (17,628 children) shows a substantial decline in gastrointestinal parasitic infections in Nepal from 43.4% to 24.2% between 2004 and 2022. Helminths (20.0%) remained more common than protozoa (9.9%), with slightly higher prevalence in urban (29.0%) than rural areas (27.9%). ABSTRACT Background Gastrointestinal parasitic
