Prevalence and Molecular Differentiation of Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, Entamoeba moshkovskii, and Entamoeba hartmanni in Egypt

Acta Parasitologica, 2020
Entamoeba histolytica-caused amoebiasis is a major cause of mortality worldwide. E. histolytica is morphologically indistinguishable from nonpathogenic species like E. dispar, E. moshkovskii, and E. hartmanni. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the approved method by World Health Organization for diagnosis and differentiation of amoebiasis.

rDNA Variability in Strains of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar

Archives of Medical Research, 2000
Among the different amebas that can live in the human gastrointestinal tract are Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar. Amebiasis is caused by Entamoeba histolytica and is responsible for ca. 100,000 deaths per year worldwide. However, many E. histolytica infections are asymptomatic, as they are for E. dispar.

Differential expression of surface glycoconjugates on Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar

Parasitology International, 2009
The human large intestine can harbor two morphologically similar amoebae; the invasive Entamoeba histolytica and the non-invasive Entamoeba dispar. Whereas E. histolytica can produce intestinal and extra-intestinal lesions, E. dispar is present in non-symptomatic carriers.

Prevalence of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar in a Highly Endemic Rural Population

Archives of Medical Research, 2000
Amebiasis is caused by the protozoan Entamoeba histolytica. This disease, or the asymptomatic infection, is associated with poor socioeconomic conditions, malnutrition, and poor hygiene behavior, all common in developing countries. There is evidence of the existence of two species of quadrinucleated amebas in the human population ( E.

The distribution of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar in northern, central, and southern Iran

Parasitology Research, 2004
The present study was carried out from August 1999 through February 2002 in order to determine the prevalence of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar in three different climatic regions of Iran by using a PCR-RFLP method. A total of 16,592 stool samples were randomly collected from different age-groups in central, northern, and southern Iran in ...

Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar: Prevalence infection in a rural mexican community

Experimental Parasitology, 2005
The frequency of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar infection was analyzed in a rural community in the state of Morelos, Mexico, through PCR technique by using specie specific primer. The E. histolytica specie was detected in 33 of 290 analyzed stool samples (11.4%), E.

Amebiasis: Clinical implications of the recognition of Entamoeba dispar

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 1999
Entamoeba histolytica was recently reclassified to recognize the existence of two genetically distinct but morphologically indistinguishable species: E. histolytica, the protozoan parasite that causes amebic dysentery and liver abscess, and Entamoeba dispar, a nonpathogenic intestinal parasite.

[Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar: differentiation methods and implications].

Annales de biologie clinique, 2005
Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar are two species morphologically identical (except hematophagous trophozoites) but one of them is pathogenic. Sensitive and specific molecular techniques which are able to distinguish E. histolytica from E. dispar have been developed recently.
