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.

Does Entamoeba dispar Produce Monocyte Locomotion Inhibitory Factor (MLIF) Like Entamoeba histolytica?

Archives of Medical Research, 2000
Entamoeba histolytica (Schaudinn, 1903) and Entamoeba dispar (Brumpt, 1925) are two morphologically identical protozoan parasites of the human intestinal tract. The former is a potentially invasive microrganism capable of causing important intestinal damage and extraintestinal disease, while the latter is considered a noninvasive commensal ...

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.

Entamoeba dispar: infrastructure, Surface Properties and Cytopathic Effect

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 1998
The cytological features of Entamoeba dispar, recently recognized by biochemical and molecular biology criteria as a distinct species, were compared to those of Entamoeba histolytica. When cultured under axenic conditions, living trophozoites of E.

[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.

Entamoeba moshkovskii and Entamoeba dispar-associated infections in pondicherry, India.

Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 2006
The prevalence of Laredo strain--Entamoeba moshkovskii--and non-pathogenic E. dispar in patients attending the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research hospital, Pondicherry, India, is reported here. E. moshkovskii is reported for the first time in India.
