Differentiation of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar in cyst-passers by immunoblot [PDF]
The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 1996 Differentiation of invasive strains of Entamoeba histolytica according to their pathogenicity has been a topic of long debate, but now the pathogenic species only is regarded as E. histolytica while the non pathogenic species is E. dispar. The present study applied immunoblot to differentiate infections of the two species among microscopically-detected

Tissue invasion by Entamoeba histolytica: evidence of genetic selection and/or DNA reorganization events in organ tropism. [PDF]
, 2008 Entamoeba histolytica infection may have various clinical manifestations. Nine out of ten E. histolytica infections remain asymptomatic, while the remainder become invasive and cause disease.

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.

Direct amplification and differentiation of pathogenic and nonpathogenic Entamoeba histolytica DNA from stool specimens [PDF]
, 1994 Discrimination of pathogenic and nonpathogenic Entamoeba histolytica is of great clinical importance. A simple and rapid DNA extraction method that can be used directly with stool specimens was developed without the need for prior cultivation of the ...
