Investigation of Entamoeba histolytica in stool specimens by direct microscopic examination and ELISA in a hospital [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Objectives: Stool antigen assay has been shown to be as sensitive and specific as culture with isoenzyme analysis and to outperform microscopy for the detection of E.histolytica in endemic area. The aim of the present study is to investigate the presence

The genome of Entamoeba histolytica

International Journal for Parasitology, 2000
Estimation of genome size of Entamoeba histolytica by different methods has failed to give comparable values due to the inherent complexities of the organism, such as the uncertain level of ploidy, presence of multinucleated cells and a poorly demarcated cell division cycle. The genome of E. histolytica has a low G+C content (22.4%), and is composed of

Amoebiasis and the entamoeba histolytica

Infection, 1973
Amoebic infection of man is one of the most frequently occurring parasitic diseases in the tropics and is nearly exclusively acquired in the tropical and subtropical zones of the earth. Recently, however, amoebiasis is found to occur increasingly in Europe and physicians should therefore become acquainted with the disease.

Entamoeba histolytica: an update

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2003
Over the past decade, since it was formally recognized that Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar were two distinct species, studies in this field have made dramatic in-roads into the understanding of E. histolytica and the pathogenesis of invasive amoebiasis. Over the same period it has also become clear that the true incidence of E.

Pathogenicity of entamoeba histolytica

Infection, 1975
The pathogenicity of Entamoeba histolytica is discussed from an immunologic point of view. The evidence that there is some "trigger" mechanism which converts a commensal dwelling organism into a tissue invasive pathogen is rejected as inadequate. The number of liver abscess cases in comparison with the number of intestinal amebic infections in a ...
