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.

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.

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. .

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 ...

Amoebic Liver Abscesses in Returning Travelers: Lessons to Keep in Mind From a Nonendemic Area

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
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.

Quercetin as a Promising Antiprotozoan Phytochemical: Current Knowledge and Future Research Avenues

BioMed Research International, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Despite tremendous advances in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, only few antiparasitic drugs have been developed to date. Protozoan infections such as malaria, leishmaniasis, and trypanosomiasis continue to exact an enormous toll on public health worldwide, underscoring the need to discover novel antiprotozoan drugs. Recently, there
