Differentiation of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar by PCR: A preliminary study in Izmir, Turkey

, 2007
The causative agent of amoebiasis is currently attributed to two distinct species (E.histolytica and E.dispar). The aim of this study was to differentiate these species by PCR in stool samples.

The use of the antifungal agent miconazole as an inhibitor of Blastocystis hominis growth in Entamoeba histolytica/E. dispar cultures Uso do antifúngico miconazol como inibidor do crescimento de Blastocystis hominis em culturas de Entamoeba histolytica/E. dispar

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2007
In regions with high prevalence, Blastocystis hominis is frequently found in association with Entamoeba histolytica/E. dispar in xenic cultures. Its exacerbated growth is often superimposed on the growth of amebas, thus impeding the continuation of the ...

Burden of Intestinal Parasitic Infections and the Intensity of Helminth Infection Among Primary School Children in Sidama, Ethiopia: A Zero‐Inflated Negative Binomial Analysis

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Introduction Intestinal parasitic infections are a global health issue. Data on protozoal infections and the utilization of count models to describe helminth intensity are limited. This study was aimed at assessing the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections and the intensity of helminth infections as well as its associated factors among primary ...

Real-time PCR assay in differentiating Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, and Entamoeba moshkovskii infections in Orang Asli settlements in Malaysia [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Amebiasis caused by Entamoeba histolytica is the third leading cause of death worldwide. This pathogenic amoeba is morphologically indistinguishable from E. dispar and E. moshkovskii, the non-pathogenic species.

Mechanical Transmission of Protozoan and Helminthic Parasites by Synanthropic Flies in Sana′a, Yemen

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
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.

Entamoeba dispar Liver Abscess Misdiagnosed as Syphilitic Gumma in a People Living With HIV: A Case Report

Infectious Microbes & Diseases
Entamoeba dispar, a commensal intestinal protozoan indistinguishable from pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica, has traditionally been considered nonpathogenic. Here, we report a rare case of an E.

Parasitic Contamination of Fresh Vegetables Marketed and Cultivated in Small‐Scale Farms in Hosanna Town and Its Surrounding Areas, Hadiya Zone, Ethiopia

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Fresh vegetables are important components of a healthy diet but may serve as vehicles for transmission of intestinal parasites when contaminated during production, harvesting, transport, and marketing. This study assessed the prevalence and distribution of parasitic contamination in fresh vegetables cultivated on small‐scale farms and marketed through ...

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 ...
