Uso da bioinformática na diferenciação molecular da Entamoeba histolytica e Entamoeba díspar = Molecular discrimination of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar by bioinformatics resources

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 ...

Frequency of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar prevalence among patients with gastrointestinal complaints in Chelgerd city, southwest of Iran

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2011
Background: Differentiation between Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar is very important for both clinical therapy and epidemiological studies. Although these two species are morphologically identical, they have differences in genetic, chemical ...

Mechanical Transmission of Protozoan and Helminthic Parasites by Synanthropic Flies in Sana'a, Yemen. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res
Nonbiting flies, particularly Musca domestica and Sarcophaga haemorrhoidalis, are widely recognized as potential mechanical vectors of intestinal parasites. This study investigated the role of these flies in transmitting parasitic organisms in Sana′a City, Yemen, where poor sanitation may facilitate such transmission.

Prevalence of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar in Gonabad City, 2006, Iran [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2007
Background: Differential diagnosis of two protozoan parasites Entamoeba histolytica and E. dispar is of great clinical and epide¬miologi¬cal importance, but except in the case of haematophagous trophozoites in acute dysentery, it is not possible to ...

Prevalence of Intestinal Parasitic Infections and Associated Factors Among Rural Ghanaian School Children: A Cross-Sectional Study in Tokuroano, Krachi East Municipality. [PDF]

Public Health Chall
Over 63% of schoolchildren in rural Ghana's Tokuroano area had intestinal parasitic infections, mainly Ascaris, Hookworm, and Giardia. Poor sanitation, unsafe water, and poor hygiene were key risks. Protective factors included home‐cooked meals and health education. Integrated deworming, sanitation, and education programs are urgently needed to address

Use of Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction to Differentiate between Pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica and the Nonpathogenic Entamoeba dispar in Ecuador. [PDF]

Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2019
Microscopic examination of stool samples has been considered to be the "gold standard" for diagnosis of intestinal parasites. Recently, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been approved by the World Health Organization as the method of choice for the ...

Entamoeba species infection in patients seeking treatment for diarrhea and abdominal discomfort in Mukuru informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya

Food and Waterborne Parasitology, 2021
Entamoeba histolytica is the only pathogenic species of the Entamoeba genus and is morphologically identical to E. dispar/E. moshkovskii (Entamoeba complex) hence cannot be microscopically differentiated. The other Entamoeba spp.

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.

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]

APMIS
ABSTRACT 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
