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.

Apparent lack of spill-over of parasites from an invasive anuran: PCR detects Entamoeba in cane toads (Rhinella marina) but not in sympatric Australian native frogs

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
The recent detection of a novel amoebozoan parasite (Entamoeba sp. CT1) killing invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) in tropical Australia raises concerns of potential spill-over into native anuran populations.

Real-time PCR assay in differentiating Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, and Entamoeba moshkovskii infections in Orang Asli settlements in Malaysia [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Amebiasis caused by Entamoeba histolytica is the third leading cause of death worldwide. This pathogenic amoeba is morphologically indistinguishable from E. dispar and E. moshkovskii, the non-pathogenic species.
