Invasive amebic diseases caused by Entamoeba histolytica are increasing among men who have sex with men and co-infection of ameba and HIV-1 is an emerging problem in developed East Asian countries. To characterize the clinical and epidemiological features of invasive amebiasis in HIV-1 patients, the medical records of 170 co-infected cases were analyzed retrospectively, and E. histolytica genot...

Entamoeba histolytica is an invasive intestinal pathogenic parasitic protozoan that causes amebiasis. It must be distinguished from Entamoeba dispar and E. moshkovskii, nonpathogenic commensal parasites of the human gut lumen that are morphologically identical to E. histolytica. Detection of specific E. histolytica antigens in stools is a fast, sensitive technique that should be considered as t...

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between microbiota number of some common bacterial species in children's gut with Entamoeba histolytica infection. To achieve that,49 samples stool were collected, 29 from children acute amebiasis and 20 healthy children, ages ranging 1 month 12 years both genders. Counting three types bacteria Lactobacillus spp., Bifidobacterium spp. Escherichia co...

Entamoeba histolytica, the etiological agent of amebiasis, is a significant cause of pediatric diarrhea in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. The clinical outcome of an E. histolytica exposure varies enormously and can present as diarrhea, dysentery, or amebic liver abscess. Host and parasite factors likely contribute to the outcome of infection with the parasite, but do not explain the wide va...

<b>Aim: </b>Amebiasis is a disease caused by protozoon <i>Entamoeba histolytica</i>, that results in amoebic dysentery. While intestinal parasites are the third leading cause of death, especially developing countries, it has been global concern. Bibliometric methods have used parasitology discipline for more than 30 years, however there not any bibliometric study on ameb...

Intestinal amebiasis is a major cause of diarrhea. However, research on host-amebae interactions has been hampered owing to a lack of appropriate animal models. Recently, a mouse model of intestinal amebiasis was established, and using it, we reported that Entamoeba moshkovskii colonized the intestine in a manner similar to that of the pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica In this study, we evaluate...

Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite responsible for invasive intestinal and extraintestinal amebiasis. The pathology of amebiasis is still poorly understood, which can be largely attributed to lack of molecular tools. Here we present the optimization of SNAP-tag technology via codon optimization specific for E. histolytica. The resultant SNAP protein is highly expressed in amebic trop...

Infection of the liver by Entamoeba histolytica is the most common extra-intestinal complication of amebiasis. The parasites (trophozoites) are carried to the liver by the portal vein. However, in more than half the patients there may be no evidence of amebic infection in the stool and no colonic lesions are present. Amebiasis occurs at all ages. The distribution is worldwide, but the disease i...
