background: the number of valid of pathogen and non-pathogen species of entamoeba has continuously increased in human and animals. this review is per-formed to provide an update list and some summarized information on entamoeba species, which were identified up to the 2014. methods: we evaluated the entamoeba genus with a broad systematic review of the literature, books and electronic databases...

Effective diagnostic tools are essential in order to combat disease caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica. In this study, we compared the commercially available Ridascreen Entamoeba test (R-Biopharm) and the E. histolytica II test (Techlab), and we found that the E. histolytica II test detects E. histolytica infections more accurately.

a survey was carried out in seven villages around bandarabass, on persion gulf, to determine the prevalence of the intestinal protozoa infections. out of the 835 stool specimens examined, 676 samples were positive with single and multiple infections. the most prevalent of intestinal protozoa in bandarabass were entamoeba histolytica, entamoeba coli, giardia lambia and iodamoeba butschlii.

The assertion that ingestion of human erythrocytes is restricted to invasive strains of Entamoeba histolytica has not been evaluated previously by comparative studies. In this report we describe the in vitro ingestion of human erythrocytes by pathogenic and nonpathogenic Entamoeba. Microscopic evaluation of erythrophagocytosis by eight different Entamoeba grown in culture revealed that strains ...

INTRODUCTION This study evaluated the presence of pathogenic human parasites on field-grown strawberries in the Federal District of Brazil. METHODS A total of 48 samples of strawberries and 48 soil samples from 16 properties were analyzed. RESULTS Contaminated strawberries were detected in 56% of the properties. Schistosoma mansoni, Ascaris lumbricoides or Ascaris suum, Balantidium coli, En...

PCR as a tool for intestinal parasite diagnosis is expanding since differentiation between Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar cysts is impossible with microscopy. Since pre-analytical factors influence DNA detection, we evaluated with real-time PCR the influence of storage time and temperature. We demonstrated an improved DNA detection in frozen stool samples.

amoebiasis caused by entamoeba histolytica (e. histolytica) is one of the most problematic parasitic infections worldwide. data regarding the effect of hiv-induced immunodeficiency on the status of e. histolytica infection are sparse in iran. this study aimed to assess the seroprevalence of anti-e. histolytica igg among iranian hiv patients. further, it determined whether the advancement of imm...

background: amoebiasis is due to infection with the protozoan parasite entamoeba histolytica. the patients infected with e. histolytica must be treated right after definite diagnosis and no need to treat infected individuals with e. dispar isolates. metronidazole is used as a drug of choice against amoebiasis. however, like a lot of other chemical agents, this drug has its own side effects. thi...
