EhVps23, an ESCRT-I Member, Is a Key Factor in Secretion, Motility, Phagocytosis and Tissue Invasion by Entamoeba histolytica

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
The EhVps23 protein, an orthologue of the yeast Vps23 and the mammalian TSG101 proteins, is the single member of the ESCRT-I complex of Entamoeba histolytica identified and characterized until now.

Adhesion of Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites to human erythrocytes [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1982
To understand the mechanism of Entamoeba histolytica adhesion, we characterized the binding of trophozoites to human erythrocytes (RBC) in suspension by measuring the kinetics of amoeba-RBC complex formation. Adhesion was very efficient, since most of the amoebae were complexed with RBC after only 5 min at 37 degrees C in mixtures containing 10(4 ...

Hemoglobin Digestion Genes Are Conserved in Lizard‐Infective Plasmodium Species With Different Host Cellular Niches

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Despite their evolutionary relatedness to malaria parasites that infect humans, wildlife Plasmodium—particularly those that infect birds and lizards—are understudied, leaving their vast genetic diversity to be explored. By assembling parasite transcriptomes from Plasmodium‐infected lizard blood, we provide the first evidence that lizard‐infective ...

Investigation of the anti-parasitic effect of the water extract of Thymbra spicata on Acanthamoeba castellani (L.) trophozoites and cysts

International Journal of Plant Based Pharmaceuticals, 2021
This study aimed to determine the anti-parasitic activity of the water extract obtained from Thymbra spicata (L.). The plant material was extracted with methanol in a Soxhlet apparatus. The extract was then fractionated with water and chloroform.

Intestinal Parasitic Infections and Associated Factors Among Psychiatric Patients at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Intestinal parasitic infections pose significant public health challenges in developing countries. They are major concerns in rehabilitation centers for individuals with mental disabilities. However, little attention has been given to preventing these infections among the mentally disabled groups.

Providing an in vitro depiction of microglial cells challenged with immunostimulatory extracellular vesicles of Naegleria fowleri

Frontiers in Microbiology
Naegleria fowleri is the causative agent of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, a rapid and acute infection of the central nervous system with a fatal outcome in >97% of cases. Due to the infrequent report of cases and diagnostic gaps that hinder the

Clozapine‐induced diarrhea: A case report and mechanistic overview

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences Reports, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Background Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic that is highly effective in managing treatment‐resistant schizophrenia. However, its use is associated with a wide range of adverse effects, including agranulocytosis, seizures, sedation, and gastrointestinal issues such as constipation, and less commonly, diarrhea. While constipation is a well‐

Hepatic abscess formation by resveratrol-treated and untreated trophozoites.

, 2016
A) Trophozoites were incubated with 110 μM resveratrol for 12 h, then they were changed to fresh TYI-S-33 medium without resveratrol and cell proliferation was measured at different times by spectrophotometry using the WST-1 reagent.
