Expanding the Entamoeba Universe: New Hosts Yield Novel Ribosomal Lineages. [PDF]
Removing the requirement for cell culture has led to a substantial increase in the number of lineages of Entamoeba recognized as distinct. Surveying the range of potential host species for this parasite genus has barely been started and it is clear that ...

Personal portable self‐powered drinking water treatment device
Schematic of the designed drinking water treatment system. Abstract The presence of pathogenic microorganisms and excessive amounts of magnesium, nitrate and nitrite ions and also heavy metals in surface and underground water sources such as rivers and wells affect human health when used as drinking water.

Summary • Twenty‐one intestinal zoonotic parasites out of 28 were detected. • Parasitic burden measured by eggs per gram (EPG) was heavy on the river bank. • Cross‐transmission of intestinal parasites among co‐habiting animals may occur. ABSTRACT Introduction Increasing urbanization has particularly affected rivers and their outer edges in cities ...

Identification of human intestinal parasites affecting an asymptomatic peri-urban Argentinian population using multi-parallel quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction [PDF]
Background: In resource-limited countries, stool microscopy is the diagnostic test of choice for intestinal parasites (soil-transmitted helminths and/or intestinal protozoa). However, sensitivity and specificity is low.

The pathogenesis of Acanthamoeba infections: current status and future implications [PDF]
Acanthamoeba are opportunistic protozoan parasites that can cause painful, visionthreatening keratitis. However the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of Acanthamoeba keratitis remain incompletely understood. Most cases of Acanthamoeba keratitis develop

Entamoeba moshkovskii and E. dispar are impossible to differentiate microscopically from the pathogenic species E. histolytica. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (Multiplex PCR) is a widespread molecular biology technique for amplification of multiple targets in a single PCR experiment.For detection and differentiation of the three-microscopy ...

Replacement of the essential Dictyostelium Arp2 gene by its Entamoeba homologue using parasexual genetics [PDF]
Background: Cell motility is an essential feature of the pathogenesis and morbidity of amoebiasis caused by Entamoeba histolytica. As motility depends on cytoskeletal organisation and regulation, a study of the molecular components involved is key to a ...
