Proteolytic Enzymes in Entamoeba histolytica

A Study of the enzymes of Entamoeba histolytica

The cultivation of entamoeba histolytica in HSr+ s medium

  In 1926 for the first time Dobell and laid low synthesized and used Hsre+ s ( horse serum, ringer, egg+ starch rice) as a culture medium for growth of E.histolytica. since then this medium along with tens of other media have been used for growth of E.histolytica and other intestinal microorganisms. This medium has been used worldwide in many diagnostic and research laboratories. In Iran, in ...

PRELIMINARY COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ENTAMOEBA HISTOLYTICA AND ENTAMOEBA DISPAR BY PCR TECHNIQUE IN IRAN

It has been suggested that two distinct species exist within what was originally known as Entamoeba histolytica and E. dispar. These are Entamoeba dispar for the nonpathogenic and E. histolytica for the pathogenic fonn. Differentiation of these two organisms is of great clinical importance since they are morphologically indistinguishable and both fonns can infect the human intestinal cavity...

Entamoeba histolytica in male homosexuals.

The mobility patterns of four enzymes using cultured trophozoites of Entamoeba histolytica were examined by electrophoresis. By this means the stocks of amoebae isolated from male homosexuals were characterised into zymodemes. No amoebic stock isolated corresponded to a pathogenic zymodeme.
