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 ...
