Entamoeba species infection in patients seeking treatment for diarrhea and abdominal discomfort in Mukuru informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya

Food and Waterborne Parasitology, 2021
Entamoeba histolytica is the only pathogenic species of the Entamoeba genus and is morphologically identical to E. dispar/E. moshkovskii (Entamoeba complex) hence cannot be microscopically differentiated. The other Entamoeba spp.

First molecular identification of Entamoeba moshkovskii in Malaysia

Parasitology, 2012
SUMMARY Entamoeba moshkovskii and Entamoeba dispar are microscopically indistinguishable from the pathogenic species Entamoeba histolytica. Although sporadic cases of human infection with E. moshkovskii have been reported, the amoeba is still considered primarily as a free-living amoeba.

Prevalence of Intestinal Parasites in Captive Asian Elephants (Elephas maximus Linnaeus, 1758) in Central Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.
Gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) are determining factors in the health of Asian Elephants. The current coproscopic study recorded 95.2% prevalence rates with 19 different GIPs from these animals. The major risk factors could be overlapping niches with domestic and wild animals, irregular medication and the existence of critical stressors. .

Protection against Amoebic Liver Abscess in Hamster by Intramuscular Immunization with an Autographa californica Baculovirus Driving the Expression of the Gal‐Lectin LC3 Fragment

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
In a previous study, we demonstrated that oral immunization using Autographa californica baculovirus driving the expression of the Gal‐lectin LC3 fragment (AcNPV‐LC3) of Entamoeba histolytica conferred protection against ALA development in hamsters. In this study, we determined the ability of AcNPV‐LC3 to protect against ALA by the intramuscular route ...

First Report on PCR-based Detection of Entamoeba moshkovskii from A Tertiary Care Center in North India

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
The only species of Entamoeba considered pathogenic untill now was Entamoeba histolytica. However, recent studies have highlighted the pathogenic potential and increasing gastrointestinal infections associated with E. moshkovskii.

Investigation of the Occurrence of Zoonotic Intestinal Parasites along the Karmanasa River Bank in Lalitpur, Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.
Summary • Twenty‐one intestinal zoonotic parasites out of 28 were detected. • Parasitic burden measured by eggs per gram (EPG) was heavy on the river bank. • Cross‐transmission of intestinal parasites among co‐habiting animals may occur. ABSTRACT Introduction Increasing urbanization has particularly affected rivers and their outer edges in cities ...

Isolation of Intestinal Parasites of Public Health Importance from Cockroaches (Blattella germanica) in Jimma Town, Southwestern Ethiopia

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Cockroaches are claimed to be mechanical transmitters of disease causing microorganisms such as intestinal parasites, bacteria, fungi, and viruses. This study assessed the potential of the German cockroach Blattella germanica in the mechanical transmission of intestinal parasites of public health importance.

Molecular Epidemiology of Amoebiasis: A Cross-Sectional Study among North East Indian Population. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
BACKGROUND:Epidemiological studies carried out using culture or microscopy in most of the amoebiasis endemic developing countries, yielded confusing results since none of these could differentiate the pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica from the non ...

Entamoeba dispar: A Rare Case of Enteritis in a Patient Living in a Nonendemic Area

Case Reports in Gastrointestinal Medicine, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Entamoeba dispar, a common noninvasive parasite, is indistinguishable in its cysts and trophozoite forms from Entamoeba histolytica, the cause of invasive amebiasis, by microscopy. To differentiate the two species seems to be a problem for laboratory diagnosis. Recent experimental studies showed that E. dispar can be considered pathogenic too.
