Early Clinical Response of a Large Amebic Liver Abscess to Eravacycline Prior to Metronidazole Initiation: A Case Report

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Entamoeba histolytica is an amebic protozoan that is often asymptomatic, with many patients being asymptomatic carriers. However, 10 percent of cases manifest with amebic dysentery and, less commonly, amebic liver abscesses. Amebic liver abscesses are the most common extraintestinal manifestation of E. histolytica.

Copromicroscopic Diagnosis and Prevalence of Intestinal Parasites in Humans and Nonhuman Primates That Share an Ecosystem in the State of Veracruz, Mexico

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The expansion of human populations and their associated land use practices are contributing to the fragmentation of forest ecosystems, thereby impacting the habitats of wildlife, including nonhuman primates (NHPs). This increased proximity between humans and NHP, which share an ecosystem, creates opportunities for the transmission of gastrointestinal ...

Differential detection of Entamoeba histolytica from Entamoeba dispar by parasitological and nested multiplex polymerase chain reaction methods [PDF]

Journal of Analytical Research in Clinical Medicine, 2014
Introduction: Amebiasis is an intestinal illness caused by a one-celled parasite (amoeba) called Entamoeba (E) histolytica. E histolytica and E dispar are morphologicallyundistinguishable but have genetic and functional differences. E.

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 ...

Usefulness of Multiplex-PCR for Identification of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar

Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 2002
We evaluated the usefulness of a multiplex-PCR method for differentiation of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar, which are morphologically indistinguishable species. Cultured trophozoites of E. histolytica HM-1: IMSS and E. dispar SAW were used as the positive control. Seven human fecal samples, from which E.

Metabolic Profile Associated With Encystation in Acanthamoeba

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT The genus Acanthamoeba includes widespread protozoa that can cause severe infections in humans. Their ability to form resistant cysts within infected tissues complicates treatment, making it essential to understand the encystation process for developing effective therapeutic strategies.
