Further insight into the genetic diversity of Entamoeba coli and Entamoeba hartmanni

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 70, Issue 2, March/April 2023., 2023
Abstract Despite the species' wide distribution, studies of the genetic diversity within Entamoeba coli and Entamoeba hartmanni remain limited. In the present study, we provide further insight into the genetic diversity of both species based on analysis of partial nuclear small subunit ribosomal DNA sequences generated from human fecal DNAs from ...

Malaria and an Amoebic Abscess in a Returning Traveler from Liberia

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Malaria is an infectious Anopheles mosquito‐borne disease caused by five different eukaryotic protozoa parasites. Amoebiasis is a parasitic infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica. Both diseases are widespread in Liberia. A returning traveler was diagnosed and treated for malaria, and 20 days later, an amoebic liver abscess was discovered, meaning ...

Prevalence of Giardiasis and Entamoeba Species in Two of the Six Governorates of Kuwait

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Intestinal parasitic infections are a global concern owing to elevated rates of morbidity and mortality in many parts of the world. Increased rates of intestinal parasitic infections are observed in developing and low‐income countries. In Kuwait, many expatriates and foreigners hail from endemic countries, thus increasing the rate and risk factor of ...

Amoebic Liver Abscesses in Returning Travelers: Lessons to Keep in Mind From a Nonendemic Area. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis
Despite being relatively common in endemic settings, amoebic liver abscesses are rarely diagnosed in high‐resource countries, where they are usually imported by migrants or travelers to endemic areas. Between 2010 and 2024, we observed two cases of amoebic liver abscess that were successfully managed in a tertiary‐care center in Italy.
