Comparison of hemolytic activity of the intermediate subunit of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar lectins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Galactose and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine-inhibitable lectin of Entamoeba histolytica has roles in pathogenicity and induction of protective immunity in rodent models of amoebiasis. Recently, the intermediate subunit of the lectin, Igl1, of E.

Aspects of Genetic Diversity, Host Specificity and Public Health Significance of Single-Celled Intestinal Parasites Commonly Observed in Humans and Mostly Referred to as 'Non-Pathogenic'. [PDF]
APMISABSTRACT Clinical microbiology involves the detection and differentiation of primarily bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi in patients with infections. Billions of people may be colonised by one or more species of common luminal intestinal parasitic protists (CLIPPs) that are often detected in clinical microbiology laboratories; still, our knowledge

Entamoeba dispar: Could it be pathogenic.
Trop Parasitol, 2015 Amebiasis is a disease caused by the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica. This ameba can colonize the human intestine and persist as a commensal parasite, similar to Entamoeba dispar, an ameba considered to be non-pathogenic. The similarities between E. histolytica and E.

Erythrophagocytosis in Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar: a comparative study. [PDF]
Biomed Res Int, 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 ...

Metabolic Profile Associated With Encystation in Acanthamoeba. [PDF]
J Eukaryot MicrobiolABSTRACT The genus Acanthamoeba includes widespread protozoa that can cause severe infections in humans. Their ability to form resistant cysts within infected tissues complicates treatment, making it essential to understand the encystation process for developing effective therapeutic strategies.

Early Clinical Response of a Large Amebic Liver Abscess to Eravacycline Prior to Metronidazole Initiation: A Case Report. [PDF]
Case Rep Infect DisEntamoeba histolytica is an amebic protozoan that is often asymptomatic, with many patients being asymptomatic carriers. However, 10 percent of cases manifest with amebic dysentery and, less commonly, amebic liver abscesses. Amebic liver abscesses are the most common extraintestinal manifestation of E. histolytica.
