Molecular identification of Entamoeba species in savanna woodland chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii). [PDF]

, 2016
To address the molecular diversity and occurrence of pathogenic species of the genus Entamoeba spp. in wild non-human primates (NHP) we conducted molecular-phylogenetic analyses on Entamoeba from wild chimpanzees living in the Issa Valley, Tanzania.

Inter- and intra-strain variation in the 5.8S ribosomal RNA and internal transcribed spacer sequences of entamoeba histolytica and comparison with entamoeba dispar, entamoeba moshkovskii and entamoeba invadens

, 2000
The ribosomal RNA genes in Entamoeba histolytica are located on circular DNA molecules in about 200 copies per genome equivalent. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the 5.8S rRNA gene and the flanking internal transcribed spacers was carried out to ...

Genetic Diversity and Gene Family Expansions in Members of the Genus Entamoeba. [PDF]

, 2019
Amoebiasis is the third-most common cause of mortality worldwide from a parasitic disease. Although the primary etiological agent of amoebiasis is the obligate human parasite Entamoeba histolytica, other members of the genus Entamoeba can infect humans ...

Comparison of direct microscopy and molecular method to detect amoebiasis cases from stool specimen and also identify the Entamoeba species involved in infection: A study of Nepal

Jurnal Sain Peternakan Indonesia, 2018
Direct microscopic examination of stained or unstained wet mount preparations or fixed-stained smears of clinical material can often provide the etiological diagnosis of an infectious process.

Laboratory Diagnostic Techniques for Entamoeba Species

, 2007
The genus Entamoeba contains many species, six of which (Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, Entamoeba moshkovskii, Entamoeba polecki, Entamoeba coli, and Entamoeba hartmanni) reside in the human intestinal lumen.

Molecular Epidemiology of Human Intestinal Amoebas in Iran [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2012
Many microscopic-based epidemiological surveys on the prevalence of human intestinal pathogenic and non-pathogenic protozoa including intestinal amoeba performed in Iran show a high prevalence of human intestinal amoeba in different parts of Iran.

Species-Specific Immunity Induced by Infection with Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba moshkovskii in Mice [PDF]

Entamoeba histolytica, the parasitic amoeba responsible for amoebiasis, causes approximately 100,000 deaths every year. There is currently no vaccine against this parasite. We have previously shown that intracecal inoculation of E.
