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 ...

Diferenciación de Entamoeba histolytica y Entamoeba dispar en muestras de materia fecal por detección de adhesina de E. histolytica mediante ELlSA

Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2001
Las infecciones causadas por el complejo Entamoeba histolytica/Entamoeba dispar son de distribución cosmopolita. E. histolytica es la única especie patógena, pero la diferenciación con E. dispar se hace por métodos bioquímicos.

Entamoeba histolytica/Entamoeba dispar infection in chronic hemodialysis patients.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia, 2011
To determine the prevalence of Entamoeba histolytica/E. dispar (Eh/Ed) in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients, we collected 330 samples of feces from 110 patients, and nine individuals were found to be positive for Eh/Ed. We compared the infected patients with a group of 14 uninfected HD patients.

An improved method to distinguish Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar

Parasitology, 1999
A 482 base pair gene fragment from samples of amoebae E. histolytica and E. dispar was amplified by PCR. The amplification products of fragments from the 2 species of amoebae presented differences in mobility in non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel, probably due to sequence-dependent conformational alterations in the DNA fragments. The method described

Prevalence of Intestinal Parasite Infection and Their Associated Factors Among University Students and University Food Handlers in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Intestinal parasite infections remain a significant public health concern in developing countries. Food handlers are particularly vulnerable to various enteric pathogens, which can then spread to the wider community. There is an urgent need for a comprehensive national review to consolidate findings from existing studies and draw conclusive insights ...

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.
