Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) reaction as viable PCR substitute for diagnostic applications: a comparative analysis study of LAMP, conventional PCR, nested PCR (nPCR) and real-time PCR (qPCR) based on Entamoeba histolytica DNA derived from faecal sample

BMC Biotechnology, 2020
This study reports the analytical sensitivity and specificity of a Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and compares its amplification performance with conventional PCR, nested PCR (nPCR) and real-time PCR (qPCR).

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.

Characterization of Extracellular Vesicles from Entamoeba histolytica Identifies Roles in Intercellular Communication That Regulates Parasite Growth and Development

Infection and Immunity, 2020
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells to transport lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids to the external environment have important roles in cell-cell communication through cargo transfer. We identified and characterized

Casease in Entamoeba histolytica [PDF]

Nature, 1959
CASEASE, the proteolytic, casein-hydrolysing enzyme, has been reported in many bacteria. It has not hitherto been detected in the protozoan, Entamoeba histolytica. In earlier studies, Nakamura1 reported the absence of casease in certain strains of the amœbae.

Entamoeba histolytica and amoebic liver abscess in northern Sri Lanka: a public health problem

Tropical Medicine and Health, 2020
Entamoeba histolytica (E. histolytica) is a facultative protozoan parasite implicated in amoebic liver abscesses (ALA), the most common extraintestinal manifestation of this infection. E.

Using Entamoeba muris To Model Fecal-Oral Transmission of Entamoeba in Mice

mBio, 2023
There are several Entamoeba species that colonize humans, but only Entamoeba histolytica causes severe disease. E. histolytica is transmitted through the fecal-oral route to colonize the intestinal tract of 50 million people worldwide.

The delicate balance between Entamoeba histolytica, mucus and microbiota

Gut microbes, 2020
Entamoeba histolytica (Eh) is a protozoan parasite of humans that colonizes the outer colonic mucus layer. Under conditions not fully understood, Eh breaches innate host defenses and invades the intestinal mucosa-causing amebic colitis and liver abscess.
