The Influence of Entamoeba histolytica Against Some Gut Microbiota in Children with Acute Amoebic

Role of the Gut Microbiota of Children in Diarrhea Due to the Protozoan Parasite Entamoeba histolytica

BACKGROUND An estimated 1 million children die each year before their fifth birthday from diarrhea. Previous population-based surveys of pediatric diarrheal diseases have identified the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica, the etiological agent of amebiasis, as one of the causes of moderate-to-severe diarrhea in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. METHODS We prospectively studied the natu...

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 ...

Amoebic Liver Abscess in Gerbils Gal-Inhibitable Lectin Vaccine against Entamoeba histolytica Adjuvant with an CpG-Oligodeoxynucleotide Is a Potent

CpG-oligodeoxynucleotide is a potent adjuvant with an Entamoeba histolytica Gal-inhibitable lectin vaccine against amoebic liver abscess in gerbils.

The protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica causes invasive amoebiasis characterized by amoebic dysentery and liver abscesses (ALA). The E. histolytica galactose/N-acetyl-D-galactosamine-inhibitable lectin (Gal-lectin), an immunogenic surface molecule involved in colonization and invasion, is a promising vaccine candidate against amoebiasis. Gal-lectin is known to induce Th1 cytokines in macro...

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...
