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

open access: yesBioMed 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

Use of real-time polymerase chain reaction to identify Entamoeba histolytica in schoolchildren from northwest Mexico

open access: yesJournal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2017
Introduction: Entamoeba histolytica, E. dispar, and E. moshkovskii are morphologically identical, but intestinal amebiasis is caused only by E. histolytica.

Molecular Diagnosis of Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, and Entamoeba moshkovskii: An Update Review

open access: yesAnnual Research & Review in Biology, 2017
Amoebiasis is the human infection with Entamoeba species, including E. histolytica, which is the causative agent of amoebic colitis, liver abscess, and rarely brain abscess; E. dispar, which is nonpathogenic; and E. moshkovskii, which causes diarrhea. The redefinition of E. histolytica, the re-description of E.

Histopathological study of invasive and non-invasive Entamoeba spp. in experimental rats

open access: yesBulletin of the National Research Centre, 2019
Background The genus Entamoeba has many species that are invasive or non-invasive (E. histolytica, E. dispar, and E. moshkovskii).The invasive E. histolytica is the main pathogenic amoeba in human.

Epidemiological and diagnostic studies for the surveillance of Entamoeba moshkovskii

open access: yesHamdan Medical Journal, 2020
Entamoeba moshkovskii is species of the big genus Entamoeba. This type of parasite rarely causes disease in humans. However, this has been more changed recently. The purpose of the current study was to review all obtainable published data regarding E.

A novel nested multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for differential detection of Entamoeba histolytica, E. moshkovskii and E. dispar DNA in stool samples

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2007
Background E. histolytica, a pathogenic amoeba, is indistinguishable in its cyst and trophozoite stages from those of non-pathogenic E. moshkovskii and E. dispar by light microscopy. We have developed a nested multiplex PCR targeting a 16S-like rRNA gene
