Molecular detection and genotyping of intestinal protozoa from different biogeographical regions of Colombia [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Intestinal parasitic protozoa represent a serious problem of public health particularly in developing countries. Protozoa such as Blastocystis, Giardia intestinalis, Entamoeba histolytica and Cryptosporidium spp.

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 This study aims to assess the prevalence, distribution, and etiological profile of intestinal parasitism in children living in periurban areas in Cachoeiras de Macacu, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A community‐based cross‐sectional survey (n = 479) was carried out. Prevalence of infection with G. duodenalis and E. histolytica/E.

RNA Sequencing Reveals Widespread Transcription of Natural Antisense RNAs in Entamoeba Species
Microorganisms, 2022 Entamoeba is a genus of Amoebozoa that includes the intestine-colonizing pathogenic species Entamoeba histolytica. To understand the basis of gene regulation in E.

Studies on the morphology and biology ofEntamoeba moshkovskiiTshalaia, 1941 [PDF]
Parasitology, 1953 1.Entamoeba moshkovskiiwas isolated from a sewage plant in North London.2. The morphology and metacystic development is similar to that ofE. histolyticaand otherhistolytica-like amoebae, but with differences in minor details.3. The cysts ofE. moshkovskiiremain viable when kept at 4° C. for periods up to 10 months providing they are not allowed to dry.4.

Genetic diversity of Entamoeba: Novel ribosomal lineages from cockroaches. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Our current taxonomic perspective on Entamoeba is largely based on small-subunit ribosomal RNA genes (SSU rDNA) from Entamoeba species identified in vertebrate hosts with minor exceptions such as E. moshkovskii from sewage water and E. marina from marine

Prevalence and Genetic Identification of Three Entamoeba Species in Pigs in Southeastern China
BioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Parasitic Entamoeba spp. can infect many classes of vertebrates including humans and pigs. Entamoeba suis and zoonotic Entamoeba polecki have been identified in pigs, and swine are implicated as potential reservoirs for Entamoeba histolytica. However, the prevalence of Entamoeba spp. in pigs in southeastern China has not been reported.

BioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Epidemiological studies on species‐specific Entamoeba infections are scarce due to the morphological similarity of pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica and nonpathogenic E. dispar and E. moshkovskii. The diagnosis of E. histolytica is frequently based on coproantigen (E. histolytica‐Gal/GalNAc lectin specific) detection by immunoassays. However, specific E.

Entamoeba Histolytica: Updates in Clinical Manifestation, Pathogenesis, and Vaccine Development
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 Entamoeba histolytica is the responsible parasite of amoebiasis and remains one of the top three parasitic causes of mortality worldwide. With increased travel and emigration to developed countries, infection is becoming more common in nonendemic areas. Although the majority of individuals infected with E.
