A Novel Protistan Trait Database Reveals Functional Redundancy and Complementarity in Terrestrial Protists (Amoebozoa and Rhizaria)

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The inclusion of functional traits of protists in environmental sequencing surveys, in addition to the traditional taxonomic framework, is essential for a better understanding of their roles and impacts on ecosystem processes. We provide a database of functional traits for a widespread and important clade of protists—the Amoebozoa—based on ...

Comparison of hemolytic activity of the intermediate subunit of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar lectins. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Galactose and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine-inhibitable lectin of Entamoeba histolytica has roles in pathogenicity and induction of protective immunity in rodent models of amoebiasis. Recently, the intermediate subunit of the lectin, Igl1, of E.

EUS‐Guided Versus Percutaneous Transhepatic Drainage of Liver Abscesses: A Multicenter Endohepatology Study in Western Japan (EPIC‐LA Study)

Digestive Endoscopy, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
The aim of this multicenter, retrospective study was to compare clinical outcomes of percutaneous transhepatic liver abscess drainage (PTAD) and endoscopic ultrasound‐guided liver abscess drainage (EUS‐LAD). After a propensity score‐matched analysis, the clinical success rate was significantly higher in the EUS‐LAD group, and adverse events were ...

Entamoeba histolytica Interaction with Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli Increases Parasite Virulence and Inflammation in Amebiasis

Infection and Immunity, 2019
Epidemiological studies suggest frequent association of enteropathogenic bacteria with Entamoeba histolytica during symptomatic infection. In this study, we sought to determine if the interaction with enteropathogenic (EPEC) or nonpathogenic Escherichia ...

Sex in Immune Cells and Parasitic Diseases — A Complex Relationship

Immunological Reviews, Volume 337, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies consistently show that many parasitic diseases affect males more frequently than females. These disparities are multifactorial, arising partly from gender‐specific behaviors that influence exposure risk and health‐seeking practices, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Increasing evidence also highlights that

Determinação da infecção por Entamoeba histolytica em residentes da área metropolitana de Belém, Pará, Brasil, utilizando ensaio imunoenzimático (ELISA) para detecção de antígenos Determination of Entamoeba histolytica infection in patients from Greater Metropolitan Belém, Pará, Brazil, by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for antigen detection

Cadernos de Saúde Pública, 2005
O status epidemiológico da amebíase está sendo reavaliado desde que a Entamoeba histolytica (patogênica) foi considerada espécie distinta de Entamoeba dispar (não patogênica). Em nosso estudo, realizamos pesquisa de antígenos de E.
