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.

Differentiation of Korean isolates of Entamoeba histolytica from Entamoeba dispar [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 1996
Cysts of Entamoeba histolytica are still found from humans in Korea, but not all of the cysts are known as pathogenic. The non-pathogenic strain is regarded as a different species, E. dispar. In this study, Korean isolates of conventional E. histolytica were subjected for the differentiation by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment ...

Prevalence and distribution of Entamoeba species in a rural community in northern South Africa

Food and Waterborne Parasitology, 2020
Amoebiasis occurs worldwide and affects about 20–50 million people annually. Stool samples were collected from patients attending different rural clinics in Northern South Africa in the present study. Microscopic examination was performed for the initial

A Prevalence study of Entamoeba spp. in Basrah Province using Different Detection Methods

مجلة بغداد للعلوم, 2021
This study aims to determine the prevalence of Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar and Entamoeba moshkovskii by three methods of diagnosis (microscopic examination, cultivation and PCR) that were compared to obtain an accurate diagnosis of Entamoeba ...

Clinical and microscopic predictors of Entamoeba histolytica intestinal infection in travelers and migrants diagnosed with Entamoeba histolytica/dispar infection. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
BACKGROUND:Amebiasis is a protozoal infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica, while the morphologically indistinguishable E. dispar is considered as non-pathogenic. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays are necessary to differentiate both species.

Validation and utilization of PCR for differential diagnosis and prevalence determination of Entamoeba histolytica/Entamoeba dispar in Salvador City, Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011
Amoebiasis is an infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica and is a potential health risk in countries in which health barriers are inappropriate. Since the discovery of Entamoeba dispar, the prevalence of amoebiasis has been modified.

Uso da bioinformática na diferenciação molecular da Entamoeba histolytica e Entamoeba díspar - DOI: 10.4025/actascihealthsci.v30i2.2375

Acta Scientiarum. Health Sciences, 2008
Amebíase invasiva, causada por Entamoeba histolytica, é microscopicamente indistinguível da espécie não-patogênica Entamoeba dispar. Com auxílio de ferramentas de bioinformática, objetivou-se diferenciar Entamoeba histolytica e Entamoeba dispar por ...

Detection and differentiation of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar by enzyme linked immuno sorbent assay [PDF]

Kirkuk Journal of Science, 2016
Amoebiasis is an important parasitic disease in human. The two species Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar are morphologically identical but E. dispar is none pathogenic and is not associated with symptomatic amoebiasis.
